Hyphae septate, hyaline to yellowish white to grayish yellow, mostly smooth-walled, conidiophores very short, arising apically or laterally from the arched hyphae of the synnemata, crowded mostly smooth-walled, occasionally slightly verrucose at the base, narrowing to a slender apex, and terminating in a swollen vesicle. Phialides narrowly clavate to subcylindrical, tapering towards the thickening apex, smooth-walled, hyaline,12-13.5 x 4-5 µm, conidia mostly ovoid, ellipsoidal, often cylindrical to fusiform, sometimes obclavate, occasionally apiculate, hyaline, smooth-walled, single or in long chains, 6-8.5 x 2.7-3.5 µm.
