Treatment

Index Fungorum registration number: 426783

Colonies on PDA are moderately fast-growing, reached approximately ¾ th of the 9 cm plate in two weeks at 28–30 0 C, start as white or pale yellow from inoculation points and turn green, reverse green, irregular, margin curled, appearance flat, powdery, concentric circles ( Figure 1d, e View FIGURE 1 , 5a, b View FIGURE 5 ). Conidiophore very long, 4–5 mm (x̄=4.7) in length and 3–12 μm (x̄=9) in width, branched, hyaline with flask-shaped vesicles of 40–50 μm (x̄=42), Phialides clustered terminal, covering the surface of the vesicle ( Figure 5c View FIGURE 5 .), Conidial heads 100–300 μm (x̄=210) diam. globose with conidia in acropetal chain arrangement ( Figure 1f View FIGURE 1 ) with longitudinal and transverse septations. Conidia 4.5–7.5 μm (x̄=6.5), greenish-brown, spherical, smooth-walled.
