 Description： |
Colonies on oat meal agar (OMA) 35-40 mm in 17 d at 25°C, effuse, velvety, very pale orange to pale orange (6A2-3); reverse very pale orange white to pale orange (6A2-3). Mycelium mostly immersed, composed of branched, septate, smooth hyphae, subhyaline to pale orange in mass, 1-4.5 μm wide; trapping nematodes by ovoid to subglobose adhesive knobs, 5-7 μm diam., formed terminally on unicellular, hyaline, smooth, flexuous, erect pedicels 5.5-20 × 1.5-3.5 μm Conidiophores macronematous, mononematous, erect, single, tapering upward, straight or slightly curved, septate, smooth, hyaline to subhyaline, 92-304 × 1.5-55 μm. Conidiogenous cells terminal or subterminal, lateral, with denticles up to 9 μm long, 1.5 μm wide, with sympodial proliferations, scattered and often branched, elongate, candelabrelloid at the apex in age, bearing 1-6 conidia. Conidia predominantly fusiform, 3-septate, occasionally clavate-fusoid and 2-septate or 4-septate, smooth, hyaline, 29.5-41 μm long, 4.5-7.5 μm wide, the distal second cell the widest, base attenuated, truncated, 1-1.5 μm wide. |

Taiwan, Nantow Pref., Huisun, on fallen decaying leaves of a woody, broad-leaved dicotyledonous tree collected on the ground surface, 10 Jan. 1993, holotype PPH28 (dried culture). |
| Note： |
Dactylella huisuniana resembles Dactylella arcuata Scheuer & J. Webster, D. as-thenopaga Drechsler, D. drechsleri Tarjan, D. ellipsospora Grove, D. lysipaga Drechsler, D. multiformis Dowsett, J. Reid & Kalkat, Dactylaria candida (Nees) Sacc., D. haptotyla Drechsler and D. sclerohypha Drechsler in one way or another. D. huisuniana differs significantly from them in respects of some distinguishing features, and can be readily sepa-rated. |
