Hyphal production by  Pityrosporum ovale.
Pityrosporum ovale with abundant hyphae was found in 8 patients with lesions of the scalp and glabrous skin. It is thought that P. ovale in its mycelial form can produce lesions on seborrheic areas of the skin that probably represent a clinical form of tinea versicolor.
