I have seen the
Malassezia Fibres/Hyphae under the Biological Microscope.

Dark Maroon – when blood is not fresh
Black or blackish maroon when
hyphae are likely dead
Gray and with a dendrite
appearance when dead
Gray (light) - like fragmented empty pieces of cylindrical pipes- when disintegrating
The Fresher Newer
ones such as the Red and Dark Maroon are usually attached
to the main Shard

are scattered around
the shards and all of them are surrounded by scattered spores.

Unfortunately, our
camera cannot pick up all details of what is visible under the BM
such as the spores
surrounding shards or the individual fragmented disintegrated hyphae.
Below is one of the successful
photos – where many just developing unfolding hyphae
