Description

Conidiophores 3.5-4 µm diam. (x̅ = 3.6 μm, SD =1.2, n = 20), arising from a dark repent mycelium, more or less erect, dark brown, septate, irregularly branched, often forming a loop and network by anastomosing. Conidiogenous cells 1-1.5 µm long (x̅ = 1.3 μm, SD = 0.6, n = 20), 0.5-1 µm wide (x̅ = 0.8 μm, SD = 0.5, n = 20), holoblastic, monoblastic, integrated, intercalary or terminal, denticulate; denticles on the lower parts of conidiophores or directly arising on lateral of creeping fertile hyphae. Conidia diameter of coiled spores 12-15 µm (x̅ = 14.1 μm, SD =1.9, n = 20), pleurogenous, borne singly on minute hyaline sporogenous teeth, hyaline, tightly coiled 2½-3¼ times, indistinctly 18-20 septate.

Notes

Goos (1989) classified Helicosporium cinereum Peck, H. leptosporum Sacc. and H. lumbricoides Sacc. as H. griseum . Lu et al. (2018) placed H. griseum and H. lumbricoides in Neohelicosporium Y.Z. Lu, J.C. Kang & K.D. Hyde as N. griseum , based on phylogenetic analysis. Neohelicosporium ovoideum Y.Z. Lu et al. and N. griseum are similar in morphology, but the conidium of N. ovoideum has fewer curls (3-4 vs. 2-3) ( Lu et al. 2018).
