　Description： Colonies growing slowly on Potato Dextrose Agar at 25℃, velvety, villose when aged, pale greenish-gray to dark greenish-brown, reverse dark brown to black. Mycelium superficial, composed of smooth, septate, hyaline to light brown hyphae, 1.5 - 3 μm wide. Conidiophores erect, arising from mycelium, solely, septate, with irregular or penicillate branches, light brown to brown, becoming hyaline at tip, 92 - 120 × 1.9 - 2.6 μm. Conidiogenesis arthrosporic. Arthrospores ellipsoidal or ovoid, hyaline, smooth, aseptate, catenulate, disarticulate when mature, 2 – 4(- 7) × 1.9 - 2.6 μm.

　Note： Oidiodendron setiferum is characteristic with solitary, erect, irregular or penicillate conidiophore, and arthrosporic conidiogenesis, which can be distinguished with the allied genera. Furthermore, O. setiferum in having sterile, branched, acnthoid appendages can be readily separated from the rest 30 Oidiodenddion species.
