Conidiophores irregularly branched, septate, hyaline, smooth walled. Conidiogenous cells discrete, hyaline, smooth walled. Sterile hyphae arising as branches of the conidiophores, filamentous, aseptate or sparsely septate, for the most part invested in mucus. Conidia holoblastic-solitary, arising excentrically at the apex of the conidiogenous cells, naviculate, unicellular, hyaline, provided with a tapering footlike process at the base; bearing an apical , and usually a basal appendage. Apical appendage infundibuliform with a terete stem, mucoid, adhesive; basal appendage, when present, terete and mucoid, enclosing base of conidium.
