| Note： |
The conidiogenous cells of A. tomentosum differ from those of A. macrosporum as they are shorter and broader (11.0-13.5 × 2.4-3.0 μm) and produce smaller conidia (8.0-9.6 × 1.8-4.5 μm). Conidiogenous cells of A. macrosporum are more slender and longer (20.0-67.2 × 0.6-1.6 μm) than those of all other known species in the genus, and the conidia, which are globose or subglobose, are the largest (5.2-14.1 × 4.8-13.6 μm) among the species. The conidial morphology of A. album is similar to that of A. macrosporum, but the conidia of A. album are smaller (2.8-5.5 μm long, 1.7-3.7 μm wide). | |||
