　Description： Growth in glucose-yeast extract-peptone broth: After 3 days at 25 ℃, the cells are subglobose (4.7-9.8 × 3.7-7.4 μm), and occur singly, in pair or short chain. Vegetative reproduction is accomplished by multilateral budding. Growth on yeast extract-malt extract agar: After 7 days at 25 ℃, streak cultures are white, butyrous, smooth, pulvinate, dull and entire. Dalmau plate culture on corn meal agar: On Dalmau plate cultures on corn meal agar after 10 days at 25 ℃, neither pseudomycelium nor true mycelium is formed under the cover glass. Formation of basidiospores: After 10 days at 18℃ After 10 days at 18 ℃ on CM agar, YM agar, McClary’s acetate agar, malt extract agar, and V8 agar, sexual spores are absent.
