Aseptate hyphae are reproductive, while septate hyphae are non-reproductive.

Aseptate hyphae are aerial, while septate hyphae are vegetative.

Blastoconidia are formed via small pores in the tip of the mother cell, while arthroconidia are fragments within the hyphae. (correct)

Blastoconidia are elongated blastoconidia with constrictions at the points of attachment, while arthroconidia are thick-walled survival conidia.

Blastoconidia are produced from a tube or vase-shaped structure known as the phialide, while arthroconidia are elongated blastoconidia with constrictions at the points of attachment.

Blastoconidia are smooth and produced from a vase-shaped structure known as the annellide, while arthroconidia are rough and produced from a tube or vase-shaped structure known as the phialide.

Hyaline fungi are stained with LPCB, while dematiaceous fungi are not. (correct)

Hyaline fungi stain 'dark', while dematiaceous fungi stain 'light'.

Hyaline fungi are superficial, while dematiaceous fungi are cutaneous.

Hyaline fungi have a smooth texture due to absence of mycelium, while dematiaceous fungi have a granular texture.
