Description:
Colony: 7.0– 8.5 cm growth was observed in 4 days on PDA medium. Two types of strains were observed in the study. 1. Brown colour pigment producers and pigment non-producers. Pustules are loosely aggregated into flat, spreading pustules. Conidiation effuse, appearing powdery due to dense conidiation, rapidly turning yellowish-green to dark green. Colourless to dark brown at the reverse of the petriplate .
Conidiophores:The conidiophores are irregularly branched and narrower and bear laginiform or subulate phialides. The pigment producers are less extensively and verticillate branching.
Phialides: Phialides are ampulliform in pigment producers and laginiform to subulate in non-producers. Usually 3–4, verticillate
Conidia: Sub-globose to obovoid, smooth, 2.5–3.0 × 2.0–2.5 µm, pale green.
Chlamydospores: Chlamydospores terminal and intercalary, globose, 4.0–8.0 µm diam.
Cultures examined: ITCC 7231 (Soil, New Delhi); ITCC 7235 (Compost, New Delhi).
Diagnostic features: Frequently brown colour pigment producers and the conidiophores irregularly branched. Phialides are ampulliform in pigment producers and laginiform to subulate in non-producers and the conidia are pale green, small, round and smooth.
Ecology and habitats: Soil.

Section— Trichoderma
Description:
Colony: 6.0– 7.5 cm growth was observed in 4 days on PDA medium. Compact to cottony 1–2 mm dia. bluish green pustules are formed with conidial production restricted to the margin of the colony. The pustules are formed along the edge of the plate in circle. Reverse of the plate is colourless.
Conidiophores: Conidiophores comprising a main axis, fertile branches arising along the length of the main axis, with longer or shorter internodes; terminal part of conidiophore often sparingly branched and with long internodes between branches; branches sometimes formed pustules with short, pachybasium-like crowded phialides. Branches arising at an angle of slightly less than 90° with respect to the main axis, longer branches near the base and short branches or solitary phialides arising near the tip; all fertile branches terminating in a whorl of phialides.

Section— Pachybasium
Description:
Colony: 6.0–7.0 cm growth was observed in four days. Aerial mycelium cobwebby, white to greyish. Compact, cushion shaped pustules are many and scattered. White at first slowly turning grey green or olive grey shades in age. Reverse of the plate colourless.

Description:
Colony: 7–8.5 cm radial growth of the submerged limited floccose mycelium was observed in four days forming white cushion shaped pustules at first turning to green granular because of conidial production on short branches for the entire length of the conidiophore. Reverse of the petriplate is orange yellow coloured.

Phialides: Phialides are densely clustered in a grape-like fashion. The internodes between branches are typically short but sometimes the internode is longer, the phialides are ellipsoidal held in verticils at the tip of branches.
Conidia: Conidia green, broadly ellipsoidal with rounded ends, smooth, 3.00–6.00 × 2.50–3.50 µm.

Phialidese arise singly toward the tip of the conidiophore; each branch terminating in one or two phialides and phialides arising singly from intercalary cells of the branch. Branches typically arising at 90° or less with respect to the branch above the point of branching. Paired branching systems rare.
