Aerial hyphae branching, thin-walled, continuous or septate at 

 maturity, hyaline, 3-10^ across; conidiophores solitary or fasci- 

 culate, much resembling aerial hyphae, simple or branching di- 

 rectly below the conidium, or irregularly forked, continuous or 

 rarely septate, 36-480^ long, seldom attaining to 1,000^, 3.5-4.5^ 

 across ; conidia pyrif orm, oblong, ellipsoid, ovoid, or fusoid, bear- 

 ing a distinct papilla 4-8 fi long, thin-walled, finely granulate, 

 hyaline, 26-112 X 16-45/*, wa ^ contiguous to the end of conidio- 

 phores, often thickened, falling off at times with a part of coni- 

 diophore, germinating in water with germ tube or liberating 

 zoospores after 35 minutes ; zoospores several dozen from one 

 conidia, ovoid or ellipsoid, ciliate at both ends, 12X8/A, later 

 transforming themselves into transparent, spherical resting-spores 

 of 9 — 12 fx in diam., which also soon germinate with germ tube
