Colonies effuse, hairy, consisting of single or small groups of conidiophores on the substrate surface, visibly white and terminated by black, spherical spore masses. Mycelium immersed. Stroma none. Conidiophores 54-75 µm long, 4.5-7 µm wide towards the base, macronematous, mononematous, single or in groups, unbranched, erect, straight or curved, smooth, typically hyaline towards the base, sometimes pale grey towards the apex, cylindrical or slightly tapering towards the apex, slightly enlarged at the apex, 1-3-septate, walls thickened, septa often thickened especially lower septa, enlarged apex gives rise to a whorl of phialides, basal cell sometimes slightly swollen. Conidiogenous cells enteroblastic, monophialidic, discrete, terminal, determinate, clavate to ellipsoidal, smooth, pale grey or sometimes with a darker grey apex, aseptate, apex rounded, forming a whorl at the apex of the conidiophores, 3-6 per whorl, 10-15 x 4.5-6 µm. Conidia 14.5-19 x 8-11.5 µm, aggregated in slimy, black, glistening heads at the apices of the conidiogenous cells, ellipsoidal to broadly ellipsoidal, apex rounded, base rounded or with a broad truncate papilla, black, aseptate, verrucose.

DISTRIBUTION: New Zealand.

HABITAT: Known to inhabit decaying leaves of Freycinetia banksii.
