An investigation was made of the morphologic stability of the anthropophilic dermatophyte, Trichophyton rubrum, a causative organism of chronic mycoses of the skin. Seven distinct strains were delineated and described with differing morphological stabilities ranging from highly sporulating, pigmented forms to downy isolates. Stability was confirmed by single microconidiospore cultures.
