| Description： |
On 1/3 MEA, colonies growing slowly, light yellow. Sporangiophores slender, at first ascending later prostrate on the agar media surface forming new sporangiophores at the touch point, simple or irregularly branched, not furcated or ternate, distantly septate, over 600 μm long, 8.0-9.5 μm in diameter. Sporocladia distantly spaced (70-213 μm apart) forming on simple conidiophores or after branching on upper fertile region. Sporocladial stipe 1-celled, 25.2-31.5(-36.5) × (3.8-)5.7-6.9 μm. Sporocladia 8-10 septate, (44.7-)45.4-50(-53.0) × 6.3-8.2 μm, nearly parallel to the sporangiophore, the sterile apical cell recurved and tapering to the bluntly rounded tip. Pseudophialides 3-6 in one transverse row, forming on the lower surface of sporocladia, ellipsoidal, 4.2 × 2.8 μm. Sporangiospores acicular, (11.3-)12.6-15.0(-17) × 1.6-2.2μm, tapering towards the rounded ends. | |||
