Description
Conidiophores are macronematous, mononematous, simple, short, and are brown to dark brown, arising directly from the substrate. Conidiogenous cells are integrated, terminal, and monotretic. Conidia are produced singly, dry, dark brown to black, thick-walled, broadly ellipsoid to obovoid, muriform (with both transverse and longitudinal septa), and typically with 3–7 transverse septa and several longitudinal septa. Conidia are rounded apices, truncate bases, and a roughened to verrucose surface.
