Coccidioidomycosis - Wikipedia
Life cycle of Coccidioides Both Coccidioides species share the same asexual life cycle, switching between saprobic (on left) and parasitic (on right) life stages. C. immitis is a dimorphic saprophytic fungus that grows as a mycelium in the soil and produces a spherule form in the host organism.

Coccidioides : Life Cycle - WebPathology
Life Cycle of Coccidioides spp.: Both Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii have a well-characterized asexual life cycle with saprobic and parasitic stages. Saprobic stage occurs in the environment and the fungus cycles between the filamentous mycelia and the infectious, barrel-shaped arthroconidia.

Life cycle of Coccidioides spp. During the saprobic phase (left) the organism grows as mycelia, which mature into arthroconidia. These asexual conidia can be inhaled by a susceptible host. If this occurs, the fungus undergoes a morphological shift to form a spherule (right).
