　Description： Colonies on YpSs grow very well attaining 80 mm at 40 °C in 6 days, dense, floccose, convolate at the center with abundant conidia on the aerial and basal hyphae. The color white at first, Buff Pink, Vinaceous Tawny, turning to Cinnamon-Brown by spores maturation; reverse Vinaceous Russet, Terra Cotta, Onion-Skin Pink, then turn to Neutral red with black spot. Exudate small droplets, adhere to the surface of mycelia, mainly at the center. Hyphae smooth walled, hyaline or pale green, 2.5-5 μm, the site of septa or branch appear turning to dark. Conidia borne terminally or laterally on fertile hyphae, short or long pedicel 2.0-5 × (2.2-) 5.5-28 (-38) μm. Blastic conidia solitary or 1-3 growing on an ampulliform swelling, hyaline at first, pale yellow, pale brown, brown, then turning to black brown, rough, thick-walled conidia. Conidia globose to subglobose or pyriform, smooth, hyaline at young, becoming spiny, hyaline, then turning to irregular and conspicuous spinulose-verrucose wall.

　Note： Temperature tests: It is a thermophilic fungus. The optimum temperature is between 40 °C and 50°C, no growth at 25°C. Sporulation is very abundant between 40°C and 50°C (Table 3). It is a new record from Taiwan. Based on the morphology of colonies and conidia, such as color, shape and ornamentation. This isolate is identified as M. hinnulea Awao & Udagawa (1983). Additionally, two more species of Myceliophthora have been isolated from field soils, i.e. M. thermophila (Apinis) van Oorschot, the anamorph of Thielavia heterothallica and M. fergusii (Klopotek) van Oorschot. M. hinnulea differs from these two species by having black brown, conspicuous verrucose-spinulose conidia, and a narrower temperature range.
