shape: Irregular, multi-lobed central mass with an attached linear chain of 3-4 roughly spherical (globose) cells.. symmetry: Asymmetrical overall; individual cells in the chain are radially symmetric.. wall structure: Thick-walled, clearly visible as a darker outer rim or optical section on the cells in the chain.. edge definition: Distinct outer edges, but the internal boundaries of the large mass are obscured by thickness and heavy stain.. surface texture: The large mass appears lumpy or lobed (verrucose/muriform appearance); individual chain cells have thick, potentially roughened walls.. internal contents: Central lumen visible as a distinct inner region within the thick walls of the chain cells.. color and staining: Deep magenta/red, indicating very strong uptake of stain.. septation or chains: Clear linear chain of 3-4 distinct globose cells attached to the main mass.. other notable features: The object appears to be a physical aggregate of different fungal structures or a highly atypical formation of a single organism.
