This collection has been compared with the type collections of B. biformatum from Austria (Herb. FH) and of its synonym B. submoniliforme from Czechoslovakia (Herb. Pr), and also single collections from Canada (DAOM 182347), Scotland (DAOM 38970) and another from Czechoslovakia (DAOM 51725) (Hughes 1983). Characteristic features of B. biformatum are the small and paler apical cell of the conidia and the slight constrictions at the septa of mature conidia.
