 Description： |
Host covered by a thin white felt of hyphae, pulverulent, from which arise numerous com-pact conidiophores, producing a conidial mass, greenish white to pale green (30A2-3), sometimes with abundant sporulation, greyish green (25C6-7). Hyphae septate, smooth-walled, hyaline, 1.6-2.8 μm wide, occasionally branched. Conidiophores erect, septate, smooth-walled, 2.4-4.0 μm wide, forming dense clusters of short metulae beneath the septa, solitary or in whorls of 2-6, each bearing 2-6 compacted phialides around the stalk, or rising directly from the conidiophores, occasionally with short branches from the conidio-phores and forming conidiogenous structures. Metulae cylindrical, or swollen in the middle, ellipsoidal to subglobose, slightly narrowing towards the base, smooth-walled, 4.0-7.5 × 2.8-4.6 μm. Phialides usually subglobose to short cylindrical, or ampulliform with a globose base, 2.4-5.2 × 2.4-4.0 μm, with necks short or absent, smooth-walled, hyaline. Conidia in dry divergent chains, 2.8-4.8 × 2.0-3.0 μm, strongly ellipsoidal, smooth-walled, hyaline. Chlamydospores absent. Teleomorph not observed. |
