Colonies effuse. thin. brown, mixed with other fungi. Mycelium immersed, composed of branched. septate, pale brown to brown hyphae 1.7-7.2um wide.

Conidiophores scattered, arising singly or in tufts of two or three, erect, simple, straight or flexuous, subcylindrical, septate, pale brown, paler toward the apex, 5.4-6um wide with the basal cell sometimes swollen tip to 8um, 4.3-5µm wide at the apex. 35-55um long, the terminal cell being conidiogenous. Finally the conidiophore proliferates percurrently 1-8 times through the scar, left by etch successive conidium, to reach a length of up to l40um

Conidia solitary, blastic, at first on the terminal conidiogenous cell of the conidiophore and then on each successive percurrent proliferation. They are spherical, non-septate, brown to dark brown. thickwalled (up to 2um), verrucose, 11 1.5- 6.5um (mostly 12.5-14.5um) in diameter, bearing at the base a frill. 2.8-3.5µm wide and 1-1.5um long, composed of a portion of the apex of the conidiogenous cell. Rarely the conidia are broadly obovoid or the scar may be on a slight basal projection.
