Mycelium partly superficial, partly immersed, composed of branched, septate, smooth to roughened, subhyaline to pale brown, often anastomosed, 0.8-5.4 μm wide hyphae. Conidiophores basauxic, macronematous, mononematous, arising from conidiophore mother cells, with two kinds: a)long, singe, tapering, straight to flexuous or sinuous, finely roughened to verrucose, thick-walled, brown to dark brown or dark blackish brown, thinner and paler towards the base, 32.0-129.6 × 3.4-5.2 μm, b) short, finely roughened to verrucose, 1.6-4.0 × 3.2-4.7 μm; conidiophore mother cells U-form, smooth to verrucose, subhyaline to brown, 4.8-12.0 × 3.4-5.2 μm.
