Morphological characteristic of M. equiseti (RTM5IV2) isolated from leaves of the rubber tree. A difference in colony morphology was observed after growing on PDA in the dark (a) for 10 days. The hyphal morphology of M. equiseti was observed further with light (b–e) and scanning electron (f) microscopes. The formation of coiling hyphae (b–c), a triangular branching pattern (d), swollen cells (c–d), rope-like mycelium (e), and cottony-like mycelium (f) were found as a typical morphology of M. equiseti
