Colony circular, dense, hyphae thin except for wider marginal surface hyphae. Aerial hyphae frequent, mostly short and erect, becoming

fertile; at the margin long, forming radial strands. Autolytic excretions frequent on surface hyphae within the colony, coilings moderate to frequent. No diffusing pigment noted; reverse pale yellowish, 3–4A3, to greenish due to translucent conidiation, dull yellowish brown, 4B4–5, 5C6–7, this website below mycelial aggregations. Odour indistinct or like fermenting fruits. Conidiation noted after 1 days, abundant, effuse, on short, mostly symmetric, verticillium- to trichoderma-like conidiophores as on CMD, also on aerial hyphae to 2 mm high, starting around the plug, spreading across the entire colony, eventually arranged in several broad, flat, indistinctly separated, concentric zones, with the distal margin long remaining white, cottony. Surface of the conidiation zones finely granular to floccose, after 2 days greyish green, 27DE4–7, 28D5–6, 27C4–5, after 10–14 conidiation also in some coarse mycelial spots or fluffy tufts; soon degenerating/collapsing from the centre. At 15°C conidiation similar, abundant. At 30°C growth poor, hyphae dying soon, autolytic excretions abundant, conidiation effuse, scant. On SNA after 72 h 10–11 mm at 15°C, 25–27 mm at 25°C, 2–3 mm Dehydrogenase inhibitor at 30°C; mycelium covering the plate after 1 week at 25°C. Colony similar to CMD apart from thick marginal surface hyphae. Autolytic excretions and coilings

common. No diffusing pigment noted; odour indistinct. IKBKE Chlamydospores noted after 5–9 days, uncommon, irregularly distributed, after 22 days (5–)6–11(–16) × (3–)4–8(–11) μm, l/w (1.0–)1.1–1.7(–2.1) (n = 20), terminal and intercalary, globose or angular, smooth. Conidiation noted after

1 days, effuse, starting around the plug, simple, verticillium-to trichoderma-like, short, to 2 mm high on aerial hyphae along the colony margin, and in loose shrubs to 0.5 mm diam with regularly symmetric trichoderma-like conidiophores, spreading across the entire colony, greyish green, 26–27E4–6, after 3–4 days, later to dark green to 26F5–8, arranged in finely granular to powdery radial patches and eventually concentrated in distal areas of the colony, there also some small pustules to 1 mm diam formed. Conidia produced in minute dry heads, soon degenerating, adhering in chains or agglutinated in dense clumps, with a concomitant emergence of fresh shrubs. At 15°C conidiation in shrubs with looser branching than on CMD, appearing as a green, 26–27E4–6, powder in fine concentric zones; autolytic excretions frequent. At 30°C growth poor, hyphae dying soon, autolytic excretions frequent, minute, conidiation effuse, scant. Habitat: on bark, possibly associated with other fungi. Distribution: Europe, North America. Holotype: USA, South Carolina, unlocalised, on trunk of Myrica cerifera, learn more partly soc. Hymenochaete sp. and a pyrenomycete in the bark, H.W. Ravenel 1382 (K 56075).
