| Description： |
Host covered with dense weft of mycelium, granular-pulverulent, white to yellowish white (4A2), becoming orange white (5A2) with age. Hyphae septate, hyaline, smooth, 2.2-4.8 μm wide, bearing groups of conidial apparatus. Swollen lateral cells, mostly cylindrical and narrowing near the base, occasionally globose to subglobose, 5.2-10.3 × 2.5-5.0 μm, further branching, giving rise to numerous (about 1-3) smaller swollen cells, or 1-6 conidiogenous cells in the first or sometimes in the second order, the swollen cells globose or subglobose, average 4.4 μm in diam. Conidiogenous cells consisting of a globose to flask-shaped basal part, 3.2-6.4(-7.1) × 2.8-4.0(-6.3) μm, terminal cells attenuating into a long sympodial rachis, up to 13 μm long, mostly 1.6-2.0 μm wide, bearing numerous conidia, geniculate or irregularly bent, denticulate, denticles thinner than the rachis, about 0.4-0.8 μm long. Conidia cylindrical, occasionally ovoid, 2.9-6.4 × 1.6-2.4 μm, often flattened on one side or slightly curved, hyaline, smooth-walled. Chlamydospores not observed. | |||
