CULTURES AND ANAMORPH

Colonies on 2% Difco Oatmeal Agar at ca. 20 °C and under 12 h fluorescent light reaching the edge of 9 cm Petri dish in 1-1.5 wk, whitish, felty, azonate, with diffuse margins, with olivaceous buff (89) patches; reverse citrine (13).

Sporulating regions scattered over entire surface of colony, whitish.

Conidiogenous structure with Periconiella-like branching pattern as defined in Ju and Rogers (1996).

Conidiophores mononematous, hyaline to light brown, coarsely roughened, 3.5-5 mm diam, composed of a main axis and sometimes one or more major branches; branches terminating with three to four conidiogenous cells arising in whorls from the main axis and/or from major branches or from additional subordinate branches; additional branches usually lacking or infrequently produced.

Conidiogenous cells cylindrical, hyaline, finely roughened to roughened, 10-17 x 2.5-3.5 mm. Conidia produced holoblastically in sympodial sequence.

Conidia hyaline, smooth to finely roughened, ellipsoid, with flattened base, 3.5-4.5 x 2.5-3 mm.
