　Description： Colonies growing slightly slow on Potato Dextrose Agar at 25℃, plane, yellowish-white to light yellow, with deep yellow or yellow sporodochia, reverse light yellow or white. Mycelium mostly submerged, occassionally superficial, composed of branched, septate, smooth, hyaline hyphae, 2 – 4 μm wide. Sporodochia white, scattering, with setae, 200 – 400 μm in diam. Setae erect, slightly curved, hyaline, smooth, septate, slightly swollen at base, thick-walled, tapering, 250 – 385 × 5 – 8 μm. Conidiophore bearing apical conidiogenous cells in whorls of 3-5. Conidiogenous cell hyaline, elongate-cylindroid, unbranched, slightly curved or straight, smooth, slightly tapering, 10 – 19.7 × 2.3 – 3.8 μm. Conidia hyaline, ellipsoid with obtuse end, smooth, often 2-3 guttulate, 6.9 – 8 × 2.9 – 3.1 μm.

　Note： Volutella ciliata with distinct and protruding setae, also the falcate conidia, both contrast to a superficially very close species Dendrodochium culindricum, but can be separated based on the variation in size and shape of setae and conidia.
