　Description： Colonies growing slowly on Potato Dextrose Agar at 25℃, villose to floccose, slightly slimy, gray brown to bronze brown or raw umber, reverse pale brown to bronze brown. Mycelium mostly submerged, partly superficial, composed of branched, septate, smooth, light brown to hyaline, thick-walled hyphae, 3.5 – 4.2 μm wide. Conidiophores short or indistinct, septate. Conidiogenous cell phialidic, ampulliform, occasionally elongate, brown to light brown, sometimes slightly constricted at basal, more and less tapering toward the tips, collaratte, 14 – 18(-22) × 3 – 4(-5) μm. Conidia globose or subglobose, light brown, smooth, sometimes inconspicuously truncated, 3 – 3.6 μm, accumulating in black false head.
