From below the cultures are tan to brown in color and with brown flecks. Microconidia are oval and present in the aerial mycelium. Macroconidia produced from monophialides, strongly septate, thick-walled, sickle-shaped with a distinctive curvature, and with a very long and whip-like apical cell and distinctly foot-shaped basal cell, mostly 3-5 septate, 26.0-85.4 × 3.5-5.0 μm. Chlamydospores are abundant, rough-walled, in chains or clumps. | |||
