Description: | Colonies growing rather slowly on Potato Dextrose Agar at 25℃, villose, grayish-brown to light brown, radically zonate, reverse dark grayish-brown to dark brown. Mycelium partly immersed, composed of branched, septate, smooth hyaline hyphae, 2.5 - 3 μm. Conidiophores erect, tall, solitary, brown to dark-brown, tip hyaline, collaret, proliferate, smooth to rough, thick-walled, 91.5 - 159 × 3 - 4 μm. Conidia ovoid or ellipsoid, smooth, hyaline, forming sticky false-head, 4.6 - 6 × 3 - 3.8 μm. Chlamydospores brown, globose, thick-walled, born on septate or aseptate short stalk, 5.5 - 6.1 μm in diam. | |||

Note: | C. virescens var. chlamydosporum can be readily distinguished from other allied dematiaceous filamentous fungi by its tall, erect, deep-pigmented, collaret, conidiophores and proliferate conidiogenous cell, and also by white droplet-like false conidial head and the distinct brown globose, thick-walled chlamydospores. | |||
