Synnemata erect, arising from all parts of the host, numerous, simple or occasionally branched, white to greyish orange (5-6B3), 2.2-9.0 mm long, 112-520 μm wide. Hyphae of synnema hyaline, septate, branched, (2.3-)2.5-3.7(-4.2) μm wide. Conidiogenous cells phialidic, either arising from the mycelium, and solitary or loosely compacted into a layer, or arising from synnemata and scattered to crowded over the length of the synnema.
