In vivo: Colonies usually effuse, sometimes rather inconspicuous, greyish green, olivaceous-brown or brownish. Mycelium usually immersed in the substratum. Stromata lacking. Conidiophores solitary to loosely caespitose, erect, long, filiform or subcylindrical, neither distinctly geniculate-sinuous nor nodulose, usually unbranched, occasionally once branched, 10-250 x (2.5-)3-5(6) [micro]m, mostly less than 100 [micro]m long, aseptate to pluriseptate throughout, smooth, rarely faintly rough-walled, thin-walled, s 1(-1.5) [micro]m. Conidiogenous cells integrated, terminal, rarely also intercalary, occasionally conidiophores aseptate, i.e., reduced to conidiogenous cells, 10-30(-40) [micro]m long, usually not or barely geniculate, i.e., usually without any proliferation, neither sympodial nor percurrent, but often subdenticulate, with 1-3, rarely more, denticle-like, somewhat protuberant conidiogenous loci at the apex, (0.5)1-2(-2.5) [micro]m diam, distinctly coronate, somewhat darkened-refractive. Conidia in branched chains, broadly subglobose, ellipsoid-ovoid, limoniform, (3-)4-8(-11) x 2-4(-5) [micro]m, 0(-1)-septate, ramoconidia and secondary ramoconidia ellipsoid-subcylindrical to cylindrical, 8-30 x (2.5-)3-5(-5.5) [micro]m, 0-2-septate, subhyaline, pale olivaceous to olivaceous-brown, smooth, rarely with faintly rough-walled conidia mixed with smooth conidia, thin-walled, s 1 [micro]m, ends attenuated to rounded, hila (0.5)1-2(-2.5) diam, somewhat protuberant and somewhat darkened-refractive.
In vitro: Mycelium immersed, rarely superficial; hyphae sparse, unbranched...
