Index Fungorum number: IF 136082
Facesoffungi number: FoF 06014
Fungicolous, colonized on the fruiting body of Boletus sp. Asexual morph: Conidial fructifications developing as loosely floccose masses of white mycelium bearing robust conidiophores with white or yellowish spore masses. Conidiophores hyaline, septate. Phialides solitary or ralely in verticills, 120–260 × 2–3 μm (x̅ = 7 × 6 μm, n = 10), attenuating to 1.0–2.0 μm (x̅ = 1.5 μm, n = 10). Phialoconida hyaline, ellipsoid, 6–12 × 4–7 μm (x̅ = 7 × 6 μm, n = 30). Aleurioconidia yellow, subglobose to globose, with irregular furrows, 25–30 μm (x̅ = 27 μm, n = 30). Sexual morph: Undetermined. (Description from Sun et al. 2019)
