 Description： |
Host covered by dense weft of mycelium, powdery, white to yellowish white (4A2), bearing complex conidial structures, sometimes numerous synnemata. Vegetative hyphae septate, hyaline, branched, smooth-walled, 1.6-4.0 μm wide. Synnemata cylindrical, clavate, simple or irregularly branched, apex fertile, powdery, stipe greyish orange (5B3-4), sterile, 0.8-5.2 mm long, 100-800 μm in diam., consisting of septate, compact longitudinal parallel or interwoven hyphae, 2.1-7.1 μm wide. Conidiophores mono- or synnematous, septate, smooth-walled, hyaline, 1.6-3.6 μm wide, bearing groups of swollen lateral cells, around or beneath the septa, globose, ellipsoidal to cylindrical, 4.0-6.4 × 3.2-4.0 μm, often further branching, giving rise to 1-5 smaller swollen cells or whorls of 5-13 phialides in the first or second order, occasionally solitary phialides arising from lateral cell or hyphae. Phialides smooth-walled, 3.2-8.7 × 2.2-3.6 μm, flask-shaped, with globose, subglobose to cylindrical base, tapering into a distinctly thin neck, 0.8-1.2 μm wide. Conidia subglobose, ovoid to cylindrical, smooth-walled, hyaline, 2.4-4.8 × 1.6-3.2 μm. Chlamydospores absent. |
