Introduction

Fungal hyphae are relatively thick, and their cells are prone to shrinkage and deformation. In addition, spores can easily disperse. Lactophenol Cotton Blue Staining Solution functions both as a mounting medium and a stain. It stains yeast cells, hyphae, and sporulation structures bright blue, making them easier to observe microscopically.

Lactophenol Cotton Blue is a standard mounting medium for fungi. Cotton blue is a basic dye that stains the fungal protoplasm but not the cell wall, allowing fungal spores that are otherwise difficult to visualize to be clearly distinguished.
