Odour sweet or bitter-sweet, robust in lately isolated cultures, disappearing in old cultures. Aerial mycelium scanty to abundant, cottony, to 7 mm higher or 2mm in cultures making teleomorph; largely homogenous, sometimes with tufts; yellowish white, amber or buff, partially turning violet in KOH. Submerged hyphae normally turning violet in KOH, cells infrequently swollen. Conidiation abundant in fresh isolates, becoming moderate to scarce in older strains. Conidiophores arising from aerial hyphae at appropriate angles, not differentiated from these or distinct with major axis yellowish ochraceous, KOH+ and wall slightly thickened; ascending to suberect, 20000(000) m lengthy, primary axis close to base 40 m wide; branching profuse or at times sparse, verticillate or irregular, sometimes drepanoid, broadly distributed, in some cases confined to uppermost components, conidiophores then appearing irregularly tree-like in aspect; lateral branches formed at 1 levels, 1 developing from one particular point, 300 3.5.five m. Conidiogenous cells formed straight on conidiophores or from lateral branches that are normally integrated within a previous verticil of conidiogenous cells, creating singly or (23() within a verticil, in some cases singly under verticil; subulate, 250 m lengthy, two.5.five m wide close to base, attenuating steadily to 0.eight.0 m at apex; aseptate; forming a single conidiogenous locus at apex. Conidiaellipsoidal to fusiform, extended obovoid i.e. droplet-shaped or occasionally widest in decrease half (oblong-ovoid); equi- or inequilateral, straight but in some cases with basal or each ends curved; attenuated at base to a narrow but prominent central hilum, often attenuated also at apex; (9.511.72.2(six.five) (4.05.four.2 (.0) m, Q = (1.62.two.eight(.6); 1-septate, in 1-septate conidia septum median or in upper 13 or 23; hyaline or occasionally with tinge of green when old, with refractive thickening at base or at times also at apex; formed obliquely from uppermost locus, held by (12() in imbricate chains appearing as radiating heads. Chlamydospores formed amongst aerial or submerged mycelium, hyaline; cells subglobose, 133 m diam, wall 1 m thick, smooth; two cells in intercalary chains or in lateral, irregular chains or sclerotia-like aggregations formed from an intercalary cell. Perithecia made in abundance in recent cultures isolated from ascospores. Substrata: Basidiomata of a variety of wood-decaying members of Agaricales, Hymenochaetales and Polyporales, also on Auriculariales; in some collections host fungus not detected then observed expanding on bark, wood or connected with other ascomycetes.
