Colonies diffuse, gray, gray-green, dark olive-green to brown-black, 

 seldom brown or reddish green, dusted gray from the conidia, loose or 

 dense, up to 2 mm. high; conidiophores erect, unbranched or seldom 

 branched, septate, ii-23iu thick, with blackish brown membrane, toward 

 the summit almost hyaline, at the summit with several (3 and more) 

 somewhat half-globose outgrowths (auswiichsen) from which the conidia 

 are formed singly on very fine wart-like projections. The tip of the 

 conidiophore grows between the outgrowths (warzen), whereby they 

 become separated and placed laterally, occasionally in this position they 

 still carry single conidia. The conidia stand so thickly on the projections 

 (auswiichsen) that thick heads are produced which soon fall off, ovate or 

 elliptical to almost globose, on the base finely apiculate, 9-12 (up to 15)^1 

 long and 6.5-io/i broad, with almost hyaline, hardly brownish membrane. 



Hab. Cosmopolitan; on living, dying, or dead plant members; isolated 

 from soil, Switzerland, Lendner.
