*''Pseudoallescheria boydii, Curvularia geniculata, Cochliobolus spicifer, Helminthosporium'' spp.
*Lives in soil
*Enters the body via wounds
*Granulomatous abscesses
*Microcolonies can be seen grossly in exudate or lesions
**Grains or granules
**Brown or black embedded in granulation tissue
**Small, irregularly shaped
*Infrequent infections of dogs, cats, cattle and horses
*Usually affect the extremities
**Can infect the [[Nasal cavity - Anatomy & Physiology|nasal mucosa]]
***E.g. Bovine nasal granuloma
**Can also infect the peritoneum and [[Skin - Anatomy & Physiology|skin]]
*Microscopically:
**Grains of maduromycosis with wide mycelia (compared to actinomycotic granules)
**Chlamydospores present
*Grows on Sabauraud's Dextrose agar
**Slow
**Takes 2-3 weeks
*Treatment includes [[Antifungal Drugs#The Azoles|Ketoconazole]], [[Antifungal Drugs#Flucytosine|5-fluorocytosine]] and [[Antifungal Drugs#Polyene Antifungals|amphotericin B]]
