　Description： Colonies growing slightly fast on Potato Dextrose Agar at 25℃, plane, villose, dark brown to blackish-brown, reverse pale brown to dark brown. Mycelium mostly immersed, rarely superficial, composed of branched, septate, thin-walled, hyaline to light brown or brown, smooth or finely rough hyphae, 3 – 4 μm wide. Conidiophores macronematous, arising from submerged or aerial hyphae, branched or occasionally simple, light brown, paler at tips, 0 – 5 septate, smooth to finely rough, slightly swollen at base, 13 – 86 × 2.4 – 3 μm. Conidiogenous cells proliferating terminally or laterally, smooth to finely rough, pale brown to hyaline, elongate- ampullisorm, bearing inconspicuous funnel-shaped collar, 17 – 30.5 × 2.2 – 3.5 μm. Conidia hyaline, smooth, ellipsoidal, aggregated in slimy head, 3.9 – 5.7 × 2 – 2.5 μm.

　Note： Phaeoacremonium genus, due to its pigmented, branched conidiophores, bearing indistinct collaratte conidiogenous cells, with morphological features intermediate between Acremonium and Phialophora, was more recently erected by Gams et al (1996) based on a type species Phialophora parasiticum. Originally this genus was accommodated in the Phialophora genus. Our isolate with proliferating conidiogenous cell, but without distinct inflation of conidiogenous cells, without warts on the base of conidiophore, both characters are somewhat varied from P. inflatipes.
