| Description： |
Colony diameter on Oat Meal Agar, 47-51 mm in 58 days at 25°C, effuse, plane, zonate, orange white to brownish grey brown; reverse pale orange to greyish brown. Mycelium immersed, composed of branched, septate, smooth, hyaline to subhyaline, 0.8-3.2 μm wide hyphae. Conidiophores micronematous, semimacronematous, mononematous. Conidiogenous cells terminal to lateral or lateral arising directly from the hyphae, percurrent, smooth, hyaline, 4.0-17.6 × 3.2-3.8 μm, with a multilayered cup-like collarette at the apex. Conidia endogenous, obpyriform, obovoid to broad ellipsoidal or elongate-ellipsoid, smooth but with pigments deposited, pale brown to yellowish brown or dark brown, truncated with a central pore at the base, 11.2-20.8 × 5.6-13.6 μm. | |||

The conidia of our isolate (11.2-20.8 × 5.6-13.6 μm) are larger than the type species of C. japonica (7-14 × 4.5-10 μm; Udagawa & Toyazaki, 1983). | |||
