Branches thick, 1–3 celled, sometimes re-branching, typically unpaired, but terminal branches or phialides often paired. Phialides

emerging solitary or divergent in whorls of 2–3(–5) on cells 2–5 μm wide. Conidia Selleckchem Proteasome inhibitor produced in numerous minute wet heads <40 μm diam. Phialides (7–)10–18(–25) × (2.0–)2.7–3.5(–4.7) μm, l/w (2.4–)3.2–6.0(–8.9), (1.4–)2.0–3.0(–3.6) μm wide at the base (n = 122), narrowly lageniform or subulate, sometimes sinuous, straight or slightly curved upwards, scarcely swollen, widest mostly below the middle. Conidia (3.4–)4.0–5.6(–7.4) × (2.3–)2.7–3.2(–3.8) μm, l/w (1.2–)1.3–1.9(–2.6) (n = 122), hyaline to pale green, ellipsoidal or oblong, sides often parallel, smooth, finely multiguttulate

or with 1 to few large guttules, scar indistinct. Effuse conidiation followed and accompanied by conidiation in broad, flat shrubs aggregating to ‘hedges’ several mm long, arranged in one or few distal wavy concentric zones, first becoming visible after ca 6 days at colony sides, white, downy or farinose, with age at most pale yellowish or with a greenish shimmer, pale greenish in the stereo-microscope (also at 15 and 30°C). Shrubs (after 10–13 days) 0.4–0.8(–1) mm diam, fluffy to granular, transparent, RG-7388 clinical trial of a loose reticulum of thick buy Adavosertib primary branches 6–8 μm wide in right angles with long fertile main axes; on a thick-walled (1 μm) stipe 9–11(–16) μm wide including outer layer swelling in KOH. Conidiophores (main axes) similar to effuse conidiation to pachybasium-like, 4–8 μm wide, 2.5–4 μm terminally, typically with long stretches from the base sterile and only few, mostly short, 1–4 celled, side branches or phialides along their length; branches concentrated on the apex. Apex typically of few terminal branches new and/or phialides or richly branched in dense fascicles

forming narrow regular trees to 200 μm long. Short 1–2 celled terminal branches and phialides often paired and slightly inclined upwards, sometimes appearing rough by minute guttules. Branching points sometimes globose, to 10–12 μm wide. Phialides emerging solitary or divergent in whorls of 2–5 on often slightly thickened cells 2.5–5 μm wide. Conidia produced in numerous minute, first wet, soon dry heads <20 μm diam. Phialides (5.5–)7–14(–20) × (2.5–)3.0–4.0(–5.0) μm, l/w (1.6–)2.1–4.1(–6.1), (1.5–)2.2–3(–4) wide at the base (n = 90), lageniform or conical, rarely ampulliform, straight or curved upwards in dense whorls, widest mostly in or below the middle. Conidia (3.3–)3.8–5.2(–6.3) × (2.5–)2.7–3.2(–3.8) μm, l/w (1.2–)1.3–1.7(–2.1) (n = 90), subhyaline to pale yellowish green, ellipsoidal, less commonly oblong or subglobose, smooth, finely multiguttulate; scar indistinct, less commonly prominent.
