Maverick, Lrrl and Lrr2 from L. rigidum var. rigidum, Lrol from L. rigidum var. rottboellioides, Oct. 1998, M. J. Christensen.
Vegetative hyphae 1-2 µm wide, infrequently branched, highly convoluted and bunched, residing in apoplast of nodal tissue, lower leaf sheath (1-2 mm), and inflorescence tissue of host. External state on host not observed. Colony diam 1-3 mm after 4 mo at 22 C on PDA. Colonies requiring contact with host tissue on PDA, not subculturable on PDA. Colonies off-white to tan, raised from the agar surface in globular morphology, convoluted, lacking aerial mycelium. Sporulation in culture not observed.
Hyphae vegetativae 1-2, sparse ramosae, maxi-me convolutae et contiguae, intercellulares, texturam noduli, vaginam folii inferioriem (1-2 mm) et inflorescentiam hospitis inhabitantes. Status externus in hospite non observatus. Coloniae 1-3 mm diametro aetate 4 mensuim ad 22 C, albae vel eburneae, convolutae, mycelio aerio nullo. Conidia in cultura non observata.
