On PDA, growth is very rapid, with dense, white to reddish brown aerial mycelium and orange to brown sporodochia as the culture ages. Colonies reach 8.1 cm diameter for 4 days at 24℃. The sporodochia often form as pionnotes with the suppression of aerial mycelium. From below the cultures are carmine red in color. Microconidia are absent. Macroconidia borne in monophialides, falcate, slightly-curved, stout, distinctly septate, thick-walled, with a distinctly foot-shaped basal cell and a nipple-like apical cell, mostly 4-5 septate, 22.5- 44.2 × 4.8-6.3 μm. Chlamydospores are abundant, single, in chains or in clumps. | |||
