From below the cultures are tan to brown. Microconidia are scarce. Macroconidia borne in mono-phialides are curved, but almost resemble the spindle-shaped macroconidia of F. semitectum, tapering gradually toward both ends with papilla basal cell, mostly 3-5 septate, 25.2-39.1 × 4.5-6.4 μm. Chlamydospores are present.
