Conidiophores abundant, stipe erect, very variable in length, 25–445 μm, pale to dark olivaceous, commonly branched, the branches bearing 2–4 primary metulae each 10–28 μm long; two to four additional series occur above the primary metulae, each giving rise to 1–3 further metulae at the apex; primary metulae paler in colour than the stipe, subsequent metulae hyaline. Conidiogenous cells discrete, tapering, 7–50 μm long, hyaline. Conidia subglobose to pyriform, 0-septate, 3–11 × 2–5 μm, smooth, hyaline, accumulating in a mucilaginous mass.
