Descriptions
Parapithomyces brideliae Thaung 1976
Colonies hypophyllous, effuse but small and sparse, olivaceous-brown to blackish brown, puncticulate-glebulate or very rarely confluent. Mycelium superficial: hyphae branched and anastomosing, septate, olivaceous-brown or brown, repent, thin-walled, flexuous, smooth, about 2-3.5 μm thick. Conidiophores semi-macro-nernatous or macronematous, mononematous, simple or branched, more often flexuous than straight, septate, concolorous with the mycelium, smooth, up to and more than 222 μm long. Conidiogenous cells monoblastic or polyblastic, integrated, terminal or subterminal or intercalary, sympodial, cylindrical or somewhat clavate (7.5)11-20(-26) x 3.5-4 μm or short and inflated 5-7 x 4-6 μm, with 1-5 denticles 1-3.5(-7.5 um) long, 1-3.5 μm thick, almost subhyaline, truncate or bifurcate at the apex. Conidia dry, solitary or in unbranched acropetal chains of up to 4, arising from the attenuated tips of the conidiophores or the branches and also from the apices of the denticles, simple, pleurogenous or acropleurogenous, straight, at first olivaceous-brown, later dark brown, smooth or apparently minutely rugulose, ovoid, obovoid, clavate, pyriform, obpyriform, ellipsoid to broadly ellipsoid, oblong or subglobose, commonly with 1-5 transverse and 1 to several oblique or longitudinal septa, 11-24 x (7.5-)13-18.5 μm, occasionally constricted at the septa, basal cell often becoming paler and protruding, relics of the fracturing denticles carried at the base of the conidia about 2-3.5 x 1-3.5 μm when persistent.
