On PDA, growth is rapid, with aerial mycelium sparse to dense, white to pale buff. Colonies reach 2.4-3.7 cm diameter for 4 days at 24℃. Sporodochia discrete or confluent, buff, yellow, ochreous or greenish olivaceous. Microconidia sparse, oblong-elliptical or reniform, 0-septate, 5.0-22.5 × 2.5–7.5 μm. Macroconidia cuneiform, with a blunt apical cell and wedged basal cell, mostly 3-septate, 20–42 × 5.0–7.5 μm. Both microconidia and macroconidia are produced from the same elongated branched or unbranched hyaline conidiophores, 35-187.5 μm long. Chlamydospores formed in both hyphae and conidia, terminal, intercalary, solitary, in pairs or in chains, 6.3-12.5 μm in diameter. | |||
