　Description： Colonies diameter on oat meal agar 20 mm, plane, evenly effuse, subhyaline to pale brown, with minute black granulose scattered; reverse subhyaline or pale brown in the center. Mycelium immersed, composed of branched, septate, smooth, hyaline, 0.5-4.5 μm wide hyphae. Conidiophores macronematous, mnonnematous, simple or branched, straight or flexuous, septate, smooth or verrucose, hyaline, often pale olivaceous brown to olivaceous brown near the apex, 60.0-168.0 μm long, 2.5-7.0 μm wide at the base, with 3-14 phialide verticil at the apex of stipe. Conidiogenous cells monophialidic, discrete, slightly curved-clavate to ellipsoidal, 8.0-16.0 × 3.0-5.0 μm, pale olivaceous brown. Conidia aggregated in black slimy, acrogenos, cylindrical to ellipsoidal, rounded at the end, truncate or rounded at the base, mostly verrucose, rarely smooth, olive to dark olive, 5.0-8.0 × 2.5-3.5 μm.
