Conidiophores penicillately branched, ultimate branches bearing 1–4 elongate doliiform phialides, 12–22 × 4–5 μm, producing a sterile, septate, straight or flexuous, 150–300 μm long appendage that terminates in a clavate to narrowly ellipsoidal vesicle 4–6 μm in diameter. Conidia cylindrical, 1–3-septate, 70–100 × 5–6 μm, smooth, hyaline, held in parallel cylindrical clusters by a colourless slime.

Notes

Pathogenicity

Significance: The cause of root and crown rot. Although the host range is wide, the disease is only of minor importance.; Host(s): Actinidia deliciosa, Castanea sativa, Diospyros kaki, Ficus elastica, Idesia polycarpa, Liquidambar styraciflua, Malus ×domestica, Pinus nigra subsp. nigra, P. radiata, Rhododendron indicum, Salix sp., Vaccinium corymbosum.
