MEA, 25°C, 7 days: colony diameters 34-37 mm, plane, floccose, margin low, effuse; mycelium white; gymnothecia abundant, concealed by the mycelium; conidiogenesis moderate to abundant, grey to greenish grey (3B1-2); exudate and soluble pigment absent; reverse Persian orange (6A7), yellowish red (8A6-7), yellowish white, pale yellow (3A2-3) or dull yellow (3B3). G25N, 25°C, 7 days: colony diameters 5-7 mm, floccose, dense, margin low, effuse; mycelium white, conidiogenesis abundant, greyish green (28B5-6); exudate and soluble pigment absent; reverse deep green (28E8) or yellowish white to pale yellow (1A2-3). CYA, 5°C, 7 days: no growth. CYA, 37°C, 7 days: colony diameters 19-21 mm, center raised, distinctly pulvinate, submar-gin sulcate, floccose, funiculose, margin entire, narrow; mycelium white to light orange (5A1-4); conidiogenesis absent; exudate and soluble pigment absent; reverse melon yellow, golden yellow (5B6-7) or light orange (5A4-5).
