| Description： |
Host attached to substratum by pulvinate, felted mycelium, covered by sparse, floccose mycelium, orange white to pale orange (6A2-3), or reddish white (7A2), reddish orange (7A5-6), bearing several synnemata. Hyphae hyaline, septate, branched, smooth-walled, 1.4-4.0 μm wide. Synnemata erect, simple, up to 1.2 mm long, 400 μm in diam., white, reddish white (7A2) to pastel red (8A4-5), consisting of loosely longitudinal interwoven septate hyphae. Conidiophores mono- or synnematous, erect, 1.6-3.6 μm wide, smooth-walled, hyaline, bearing solitary, or whorls of 2-7 metulae, around or beneath the septa. Metulae cylindrical, clavate, smooth, 4.4-8.7 × 2.4-4.8 μm, sometimes bearing verticils of 4-9 phialides, phialide solitary, or in whorls of 2-5, arising terminally or subterminally from the conidiophore. Phialides smooth-walled, 4.8-9.1(-15.1) × 2.0-4.0 μm, with a globose or ellipsoidal base, tapering into a distinctly thin neck, 0.6-1.7 × 0.6-1.0 μm. Conidia subglobose, ovoid, ellipsoidal to cylindrical, or regularly to irregularly campanulate, occasionally fusiform, smooth-walled, hyaline, (2.4-) 3.2-5.6 (-6.4) × 1.9-3.6 μm.
