Phaeostalagmus novae-zelandiae S. Hughes 1978

On dead bark of Schefflera digitata, Auckland Prov., Kitekite Track, Piha Waitakere Range. 1 1.VI 1963, PDD 212 10 (DAOM 93828).

Colonies effuse, grey. Mycelium composed of subhyaline to pale brown, branched, septate hyphae 2-4.7um wide. Conidiophores mostly produced singly. more-or-less crowded but not velutinous, erect, simple. straight. 130-265um long, 8-10µm wide and dirk brown toward the base, tapering gradually to 3-3.5um wide toward the subhyaline to pale brown apex. septate at 7-35um intervals, the uppermost cells being the shortest. The main stalk terminates in a sinule phialide and bears verticils of up to 5 divergent phialides below the apex and below the tipper 2 to 4 septa: phialides are also borne on short primary divergent branches, which are tip to 18µm long and I- or 2-celled, and on shorter secondary branches. Phialides are lageniform to sulbulate, 12.5-18(-23)µm ]on, with the venter 2.5-3.5µm wide tapering to a narrow. more-or-less cylindrical neck 1.5um wide which terminutes in an inconspicuous collarette.

Phialoconidia are ellipsoidal to cylindrical with rounded ends, hyaline, 5-7 X 1.8-2um and accumulate in sticky heads at the ends of the phialides.

Coloniae effusae subvelutinae. griseae. Mycelium immersum ex hyphis ramosis. septatis, subhyalinis vel atrobrunneis, 2-4.7um crass. compositum.Conidiophora plerumque singulariter nata, erecta, simplicia, erecta. subulata, 130-265um longa, basim versus 8-10µm crass. et atrobrunnea. apicem versus 3-3.5um crass. et subhyalina vel pallide brunnea, septata (cellulis 7-35µm longis) in primis phialidem singulam apicalem ferentia; dein phialides verticillatae apicem versus conidiophorarum productae rice non in ramis primaris ramulis secondariisque brevibus (ad 18um longis). Phialides lageniformes vel subulatae. subhyalinae vel hyalinae et basi pallide brunneae, 12.5-18(-23 )µm longae, basim versus 2.5-3.5um lat., apicem versus 1.5um lat., collo minuto praeditae. Phialoconidia ellipsoidea Yei cylindrica utrinque rotundata, hyalina 5-7 X 1.8-2um in capitulis mucosis aggregata.
Phaeostalagmus novae-zelandiae is closest to P. tennissimus (Corda) Gams (in Gams & Holubova-Jechova 1976) but the last named has smaller conidia, viz, 2-4 X 1-15um (Hughes 1951c, as Verticillium tenuissimum (2.5-)3-4 x 1.2-1.8um according to Gams (op. cit.).
Holotypus in cortice emortuo Schefflerae digitata Nova Zelandia, Auckland Province, Piha, Waitakere Range, 11.VI.1963, S.J.H., PDD 21210 (DAOM 93828).
