 Description: Colonies growing slowly on Potato Dextrose Agar at 25℃, white, villose, slimy while aged, irregularly radiate, ridged, reverse white with reddish-brown or brown pigment. Mycelium mostly immersed, composed of branched, septate, smooth, thin-walled, hyaline hyphae, 1 - 1.5 μm wide. Conidiophores micronematous. Conidia ellipsoidal, fusiform, 1-celled, smooth, hyaline, indistinct, arising from mycelium directly, catenulate, 6 - 15 × 1.5 - 3 μm.

 Note: The isolate was accessed on mite’s body surface, without sign of parasitism. A. ingoldii is characterized by slow growing, irregularly radiate ridged colony, which becomes slimy while aged. In addition, conidiophores are micronematous, branched, the articulated conidiogenous cells potentially could be converted into conidia, thus variable in length.
