Description: | Colony diameter on Oat Meal Agar 8-9 mm in 12 days at 25°C, plane, pale orange white to orange white or pale orange; reverse orange white to pale orange. Mycelium mostly immersed, composed of branched, septate, smooth, subhyaline to pale yellowish hyphae, 1.5-5.0 μm wide. Conidiophores micronematous, semimacronematous, mostly lateral, single or branched, straight or flexuous, smooth, subhyaline, 12.0-36.0 × 2.5-3.5 μm. Conidiogenous cells monoblastic, integrated, sympodially proliferating, 3.0-12.5 × 1.5-2.5 μm. Conidia T-shaped, smooth, hyaline or subhyaline, pale yellowish brown in mass; main axis clavate, straight or curved, 3-6 septa, 25.5-45.0 μm long, 4.5-5.5 μm wide near the apex, often truncate, 1.5-3.0 μm wide at the base, usually with 2 symmetrical arms (rarely 3 divergent arms); arms 1-3 septate, tapering, slightly curved and rounded at the ends, 6.5-16.0 μm long, 3.0-5.5 μm wide. Cylindrical conidia present, up to 6-septae, 41.5-45.0 μm long, 4.5-5.0 μm wide. | |||

Note: | Trinacrium incurvum (Matsushima, 1993) was described as having T-shaped triradiate, hyaline, smooth conidia. In 1980, Matsushima reported a second, unnamed trinacrium sp. (MFC-6700) with T-shaped conidia. This isolate was collected from Taiwan, but this fungi has no specific epithet. | |||
