Growth on YM agar: After 7 days at 25°C: Colony white, butyrous. After 3 days at 25°C, cells spheroidal to elongate, 2.0-5.0 × 3.0-6.0 μm, and growing singly, in pairs, or in small clusters. Dalmau plate culture on Corn Meal Agar: Pseudohyphae consist of chains of ovoidal or cylindroidal cells. Formation of ascospores: Strain ST3-1d formed asci that contained 2 to 4 hat-shaped ascospores on McClary's acetate agar after 7 days. It should be sporogenous diploid.

Note：
Kurtzman (2000) reported that P. anomala is heterothallic, but the sporogenous diploid form is usually isolated from nature and diploid cells directly convert to asci and form 1 to 4 hat-shaped ascospores.
