Fungous Flora of the Soil 483 



Conidial tufts when young bright green to verdigris green, later becoming 

 darker, and finally becoming gray-green to gray-brown; hyphas hyaline, 

 often in age yellow to brown, about 3/x thick; conidiophores erect, un- 

 branched, 1-2 mm. high, 14/x or more thick, hyaHne, beset with radiating, 

 crowded, simple, short sterigmata that are 10-14^1 long by 5-7 m thick; 

 conidia in chains, globose or somewhat ovate, smooth, later mostly fine 

 granular, mostly 7-10/z in diameter, maximum 15^1.

 swelling rough, hyaline, 30-50JU in diameter, closely beset with radiating 

 sterigmata 12-15^ long, 4-7 m thick; conidia globose, amber-brown, very
