　Description： Colonies on corn meal agar light yellow, growing sparsely. Vegetative hyphae hyaline, septate. Rhizoids present. Sporangiophores yellowish, erect, septate, simple, occasionally branched irregularly, most 8-14 μm wide, up to 1 cm or more high, tapering above, producing sporocladia sympodially. Sporocladia rarely more than three, loosely arranged on the sporangiophore, 20-28 × 17-26 μm, sessile, aseptate, dome-shaped, acrogenously forming numerous pseudophialides crowded on half of the surface. Pseudophialides ellipsoid first becoming flask-shaped, 8-10 × 1.5-2 μm, bearing a sporangiole apically. Sporangiola uni-spored, nearly hyaline, elongate clavate, wall swelling on the tip and truncate at the base, 30-35 × 3.5-4.5 μm, projecting about 5.5-7 μm beyond the apex of the spore; a spore mass enveloped in liquid at maturity. Spores lanceolate, 24.5-28 × 3-4 μm near the base, length: width ratio 7.5, uniformly tapered to the acute apices, round below. Zygospores not observed.

　Note： Linderina macrospora can be distinguished from the other species of this genus L. pennispora in having larger spores (16-22 × 4 μm in L. pennispora). Besides, L. macrospora produces fewer and loosely arranged sporocladia on the sporangiophore. L. macrospora was found growing luxuriantly but sporulating poorly on PDA medium in this study. The best sporulation was found on CMA medium (Kurihara et al. 2008).
