 Description: Colonies growing slightly fast on Potato Dextrose Agar at 25℃, villose, more or less slimy, yellowish-brown to brown, reverse dark brown to dark pale brown. Mycelium partly immersed, often aggregate, composed of branched, smooth, septate, hyaline to light brown hyphae, 2 - 5 μm wide. Conidiophores branched, arising from procumbent or aerial mycelium, bearing profuse metulae and phialides, 8 - 52 × 5.5 – 6 μm. Metulae hyaline, smooth, 7.5 - 13.5 × 3.5 - 5.5 μm. Phialides narrowly flask-shaped, with collar at end, slightly constricted at base, hyaline, 22 - 25 × 4.1 - 6 μm. Macroconidia cylindrical, obtuse, slightly tapering at ends, straight or slightly curved, smooth, hyaline, 3-5-septate, septa with distinct stripe, 59 - 78 × 7.9 - 9 μm.

 Note: Campylocarpon fasciculare is similar to Cylindrocarpon in forming multiseptate, slightly curved obtuse macroconidia, and chlamydospores usually absent. Nevertheless C. fasciculare contrasts to Cylindrocarpon by larger size spore, stripe septate, white and more dispersed sporodochia and high ITS sequence identify index. In addition, the perfect stage of many Cylindrocarpon accessed, poessesing Neonectria state, however, non-perfect state has been observed yet for the present Campylocarpon isolate.
