Each objective describes a mycology bench competency, morphology, culture, and interpretive reasoning, not antifungal dosing or treatment selection.

Sequence direct microscopy, culture/ID, antigen, and molecular methods as complementary fungal diagnostic layers
Match specimen type and suspected organism group to an appropriate method stack
State preliminary versus confirmed report stages while hedging institutional menus and cutoffs, without antifungal dosing
