Description

Conidiophores 190-346 μm long (x̅ = 294.1 μm, SD = 52.6, n = 20), 4.5-6.5 µm wide (x̅ = 5.5 μm, SD = 1.8, n = 20), mononematous, single, unbranched, septate, with 3-4 whorls of phialides in the mid-section and a single phialide at the apex, dark brown and paler towards the apex. Conidiogenous cells 10-14 μm long (x̅ = 12.5 μm, SD = 52.6, n = 20), 3-4 µm wide (x̅ = 5.5 μm, SD = 3.5, n = 20), cylindrical to lageniform, phialides, producing conidia from multiple entero-blastic conidiogenous loci and phialides borne on collar hyphae around the conidiophore. Conidia 3.5-4.5 μm long (x̅ = 4 μm, SD = 1.1, n = 20), 2.5-3.0 µm wide (x̅ = 2.5 μm, SD = 1.4, n = 20), globose to subglobose, aseptate and hyaline to subhyaline.

Notes

This species was originally collected on decaying wood in the Caribbean national forest and described as Melanopsammella gonytrichii F.A. Fernández & Huhndorf ( Fernández and Huhndorf 2005), but later it was renamed as Chloridium gonytrichii by Réblová et al. (2016b).
