Conidiophores scattered or crowded. usually arising singly; they are generally straight, simple, smooth. 130-265um long, 3-9-septate, with a 1.5-3.2um thick peripheral wall, 9-1 1µm wide just above the slightly swollen base, tapering gradually to 3.5-5.5um wide just below the apex which is swollen abruptly to 6.0-7.5um The conidiophores are hyaline throughoutPhialides are formed in a fasciculate group of 8 to 14 on the apical swelling of the conidiophore. They are broadly obovoid, hyaline to pale olivaceous, smooth, 10.5-15.0um wide. Each phialide bears a single apical and inconspicuous collarette. Phialoconidia are 1-celled, broadly ellipsoidal to short-cylindrical with rounded ends, olivaceous, bearing conspicuous, dark olivaceous to black warts; they measure 7.7-10.8 x 5.5-6.6um and gather in a black, slimy and shining head around the apex of the phialides.
