The specimen at hand is very well developed. It forms irregular, nearly 
black, often confluent, thin colonies up to 2 cm in length. The fertile 
hyphae are straight, brown, 35-50 u long, at the base about 3 u broad, taper-

lower portion. The conidia are broadly elliptic, 10-12 u long, hyaline or 
nearly so.
