Summary. Twelve isolates of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis generated cerebriform colonies at room temperature on potato glucose agar slants (PDA). These isolates contained abundant chlamydospores and yeast‐like cells and are a subset of the 65 isolates obtained from nine‐banded armadillos ( Dasypus novemcinctus ). They grew as a yeast form with typical multiple buddings at 37 °C on brain heart infusion agar supplemented with 1% glucose. After replating on PDA and culturing at room temperature for 2 months, the mutants appeared as cottonous colonies, which indicated that the morphological characteristics were unstable.
