Invasion of the hair shaft, which surfaces of the hair follicle, causes it to become fragile, often known as breaking off at the endothrix characteristic of Microsporum species. The mosaic pattern is characteristic of Microsporum species. Trichophyton species do not exhibit this pattern. This disease is found only in people who wear shoes. It is called tinea pedis or athlete's foot. The continued growth of the fungal filament is known as hyphae, which produces a mat of growth known as mycelium. Light brown to black macular areas on the palms or stratum corneum, which are associated with brown/black septate hyphae, is associated with tinea nigra.
