Mycologists have recognized the need for a consensus guideline that serves as a concise reference for theperformance of fungal culturing and the preparation and reading of direct microscopic examinations. M54provides principles and procedures for biosafety in the mycology laboratory, QC of fungal media,maintenance of stock strains, specimen collection and transport, specimen processing, direct microscopicexaminations, fungal culturing methods, and assessment of cultures.

This guideline is intended for laboratory scientists who process specimens for fungal culture and/orperform fungal direct microscopic examinations. Although they can be encountered growing onmycology media, Nocardia spp. and other aerobic actinomycetes can also be found growing on media inother areas of the laboratory (eg, bacteriology, mycobacteriology). Therefore, culture and directexaminations for this group of organisms will not be discussed in this document. Furthermore, theidentification of fungi is outside of the scope of this document.
