Mycelium mostly superficial, partly submerged, , composed of branched, septate, smooth, thin-walled, hyaline hyphae, 1.8 – 3.3 μm wide. Sporodochia present. Conidiophores erect, arising from stroma, hyaline, smooth, septate, about 40-80 μm, bearing irregular branches. Conidiogenous cells hyaline, cylindrical or elongated-cylindrical, straight or slightly curved, in a cluster of 5-8, 15-22 × 2 – 2.5 μm. Conidia light brown, smooth to finely rough, 1-celled, cylindrical with rounded ends, inconspicuous truncated end, 6.5 – 8.8 × 3 – 4 μm, aggregated in black or dark green droplets.
