Clinical mycology laboratories now prepare fewer tease mounts of filamentous fungi but increasingly use a variety of tape touch or Scotch Tape methods to microscopically study molds. Mounts are often prepared with clear cellophane tape by a procedure similar to that described in Larone’s Third Edition of Medically Important Fungi: a Guide to Identification (1). Because it is not the most commonly used tape for general purposes, clear tape is often available only in craft or art supply stores. Characteristically, clear tape is a relatively thick and tough film with variable optical qualities. Preparation of tape touch mounts using frosted tape offers several advantages. First, it is readily available as a standard desk item in almost every laboratory or office, it is physically a very flat, thin material, and, finally, it can be torn easily. Handling any tape with gloved hands may present difficulties, but preparing tape touch mounts with bare hands can also pose some safety risks for the mycologist. A simple, safe, and easily executed mounting method using frosted tape is outlined herein. It results in a high-quality tape mount for microscopic study.
