Colonies effuse, black, thin, and granular. Mycelium immersed, composed of smooth, septate, branched, pale olivaceous to pale brown hyphae 1.8-3.6 (-5.0) um wide. Condiophores micronematous, mononematous, simple, straight or more usually flexuous or even partly coiled, 3.0-3.6 um wide, up to 25 um long, arising singly or in groups of 2 to 4 from loose knots of immersed hyphae. Conidiogenous cells monoblastic, terminal, determinate, up to 12.5 um long. Conidia variable in shape and size, subcylindrical to ovoid to ellipsoidal to obpyriform, straight or curved, occasionally S-shaped, dark brown to black, brown to pale brown toward the apex, brown at the base, heavily and coarsely verrucose, rounded at the apex, with the basal cell conico-truncate and often less roughened with the place of attachment basal to lateral. Conidia are up to 35(-48) septate with the septa 2 to 9 um apart and often difficult to observe, 45-185(-200) um long and 18.0-25.5 um wide. Secession is apparently rhexolytic and irregular.
