Confocal laser scanning microscopy of samples stained with Acridine Orange allows the differentiation of hyphae pertaining to a lichenicolous fungus versus hyphae of the host mycobiont. This is similarly possible by hybridizing rRNA in hyphae of a particular symbiont with a specific, labelled DNA fragment. Transmission electron microscopy was used to study details of the interactions among symbionts including the structure of haustoria or ultrastructural features of parasitized cells. The investigations reveal a diversity of infection mechanisms of lichenicolous fungi.
