Host covered by floccose, yellowish white, pale yellow to light yellow (4A2-4) mycelium from which numerous synnemata arise. Synnemata of variable length; long synnemata soli-tary, arising from the central dorsal part of the host, 5 mm long, ca. 100 μm wide; short synnemata, numerous, arising from the peripheral dorsal part of the host, circular, erect, short, simple, clavate, 480-720 μm long, 80-290 μm diam.; both kinds yellowish grey (4B2), pubescent, pulverulent towards the apex, composed of compact longitudinal parallel hyphae. Hyphae of synnema 1.6-2.4 μm wide, septate, hyaline, smooth-walled. Phialides arising from the outer hyphae or lateral cells of the synnema, 6.4-13.9(-15.5) ×3.6-4.4 μm, forming a hymenial layer, or sparsely arising from the hyphae or lateral cells of the hyphae, consisting of an ellipsoidal to cylindrical venter, 4.8-11.5 × 3.6-4.4 μm, hyaline, abruptly tapering to a distinctly long neck, 1.6-3.6(-4.8) × 1.0-1.7 μm, smooth-walled. Conidia in short chains, one-celled, cylindrical, 6.0-11.5 × 2.1-3.2 μm, occasionally curved, often with distinctly apiculate ends, hyaline, smooth-walled. Teleomorph not observed. | |||
