　Description： Colonies diameter on V8 Jucie Agar larger than 90 mm in 14 days, 25°C, effuse, granulate, somewhat floccose at the center, yellowish brown; reverse yellowish brown. Mycelium mostly superficial, partly immersed, composed of branched, septate, smooth to rugose, hyaline to pale brown, 1.4-17.0 μm wide hyphae. Conidiophores semimacronematous to macronematous, mononematous, simple or branched, often tappering towards the top, septate, smooth, hyaline to pale brown, 20.0-100.0 × 7.0-9.0 μm. Conidiogenous cells monoblastic. Conidia solitary, pyriform or obovoid, 1-septate, 26.0-57.0 × 22.0-36.0 μm, apical cell is large, very roughened to verrucose, yellowish brown to orange brown, basal cell small, smooth to roughened, hyaline to yellowish brown or orange brown and often with a narrow remained part of the conidiophore at the base. Asperfilli-form present; stipe smooth to finely roughened, hyaline to pale brown, 10.0-80.0 × 2.8-7.0 μm; versicle 4.4-15.6 μm wide; phialides ampulliform, 8.0-12.8 × 3.2-4.5 μm, with a long narrow colular up to 4.0 μm long, 1.6 μm wide; conidia borne in catenate, ellipsoidal or obovoid, often truncate at the base, smooth, hyaline, 2.4-4.0 × 1.5-2.8 μm.
