Conidia 30-90(-110) x 16-41 um. They may bear 1 to 6, one-celled, more-or-less flask-shaped structures, up to 12.5um wide. each with one or rarely two necks: these pycnidia- can develop whilethe conidium initial is still young and only slightly pigmented but the flask-shaped structures soon become coloured, the neck being dark brown to black and thicker-walled than the venter. Ellis ( 1961 ) found that these produce subspherical, pale brown pycnidiospores which are 2-3 um diam. Occasionally two contiguous cells of a conidium can unite to form a pycnidium with a common neck; the fusion of necks produced on the same conidium or of necks, from different conidia has been seen. These pycnidium-like structures are presumably phialides.
