| Description： |
Colonies growing fast on Potato Dextrose Agar at 25℃, white, cottony, effuse, with black droplets in aged, reverse white to light orange-yellow. Mycelium mostly superficial, often funiculus, composed of branched, septate, smooth, hyaline hyphae, 2 - 4 μm in wide. Conidiodenous cell cylindrical or ampulliform, 11 - 17 × 5 - 6 μm, hyaline, proliferating percurrently, arising from sporodochia or stroma. Conidia 5-celled, straight or slightly curved, fusiform, slightly constricted at septa, 19.5 - 26 × 6.8 - 8 μm, intermediate cells the second and third cells deep olivaceous, the fourth cells light brown, the length in pigmented cells, 14.5 - 16.5 μm, basal cells hyaline, conic, tapering, bearing one pedicel, 5 - 7 μm; the apical cells hyaline, conic, tapering, bearing a crest of 2 - 3 setulae, 22 - 27 μm. | |||

| Note： |
Our isolate is slightly lager no matter in size or in length compared the conspecific isolate described by Kleb and Steyaert(1914, 1949). And also, the number of setulae on the conidia in our isolate most often is 2, instead of 3 compared with the aforementioned isolate. | |||
