Conidiophores. Arising singly or in groups, terminal or lateral on hyphae, stromata and ascomata, simple or branched, straight or flexuous, pale to mid brown, septate, up to 300 × 2-7 μm. Conidia. Acropleurogenous, straight, ovoid, obclavate or ellipsoidal, 3- to 5- (to 8-) septate, mostly 3-septate, intermediate cells brown to dark brown, end cells almost colourless to pale or dark brown, mature conidia tuberculate, 23-52 × 13-20 μm; young conidia smooth and almost colourless; germination of conidia both by polar and lateral germ tubes. Ascomata. Black, globose, often borne on a columnar basal stroma or flattened crust, 50-700 × 400-490 μm, with a conical truncate beak up to 300 × 115-140 μm wide at the base, often hairy in the globose part with simple, brown, septate hyphae; some conidiophores arising from the globose part of the ascoma but not formed abundantly. Asci. Cylindrical, short-stalked, 2- to 8-spored, with spores helically coiled, 170-340 × 13.5 μm. Ascospores filiform, colourless, often straightening at one or both ends, commonly tapering at both ends but more so at the base, sometimes with a truncate apex, with a mucilaginous sheath up to 4 μm thick, not narrower, 13- to 23-septate, 160-460 × 3-4.5 μm. Pseudoparaphyses. Filiform, colourless, branched.
