 Description: Colonies diameter on Corn Meal Agar 50-54 mm in 19 days at 25°C, effuse, velvety to more or less floccose, yellowish grey to olive grey or olive brown; reverse yellowish grey to olive brown. Mycelium partly superficial, partly immersed, composed of branched, septate, smooth to finely roughened, hyaline to dark brown, 1.4-5.0 μm wide hyphae. Conidiophores macronematous, mononematous, simple or rarely branched, straight, septate, smooth, or near so, pale brown to dark brown, often elongated proliferation, 32.0-304.0 × 5.4-12.0 μm. Conidiogenous cells monophialidic. Conidia brone in a slimy mass, mostly globose or subglobose, rarely obpyriform or ovoid, up 13.2-24.8 μm long, 8.8-16.8 μm wide, smooth, subhyaline to pale yellowish brown, often contained numerous granular cytoplasm and with 5-15 appendages scattered over the surface; appendage spine-shaped, slender, tappering, smooth, hyaline, 6.4-11.2 × 0.6-0.8 μm. Smaller monophialide and conidia present; phialide pale grey brown to middle brown, smooth, 30.4-64.0 × 4.0-5.2 μm, conidia elllipsoidal or ovoid, smooth, hyaline to subhyaline, 3.2-8.0 × 2.0-4.4 μm.
