FacesofFungi number: FoF 00757
Saprobic on the host plant in terrestrial habitat. Sexual morph: undetermined. Asexual morph: Conidiomata (30−)54–100 μm diam., (56−)84–133 μm high, brown, pycnidial, solitary to gregarious, semi-immersed to superficial, globose to subglobose, unilocular, glabrous, ostiolate. Ostiole circular, centrally located. Conidiomatal wall 9–13 μm wide, composed of thick-walled, dark brown to brown cells of textura angularis. Conidiophores 1–4 μm wide, arising from the inner cavity of the conidiomata, hyaline, cylindrical, branched at the base, septate, smooth-walled. Conidiogenous cells hyaline, enteroblastic, phialidic, cylindrical, integrated or discrete, determinate, smooth-walled, with terminal or lateral apertures. Conidia 2.3–2.8 × 0.8–1.4 μm (mean = 2.5 × 1.2 μm, n=10), hyaline, cylindrical to ellipsoidal, unicellular, smooth, guttulate (Tian et al. 2015).
Material examined: Italy, Padova, on bare wood of Salix udensis (Salicaceae), January 1878, Saccardo (IMI 202557, isotype).
