Leaf litters, buried in the soil.
Host:
Adult beetle, Lepidoptera larva, mole crickets.
Description:
Stroma one or two arising on Lepidoptera larvae, adult beetle (Coleoptera), and mole cricket (Orthoptera) protruding from the ground, solitary, clavate, cylindrical with rounded apices, 30-55 mm long, white with slightly rhizoid mycelia covering the host, orange white to light orange, pinkish white to pale red. Fertile head showing on the upper part of stromata, clavate, cylindrical with rounded apices, light orange, pale red, 15-22 × 2-3 mm. Perithecia semi-immersed and crowded at the apex of stromata, obclavate to ovoid, 200-400 × 80-200 μm. Asci hyaline, cylindrical, capitate, 182-313 × 4-5 μm. Asci-caps hyaline, rounded, 2-3 × 3-4 μm. Ascospores hyaline, filiform, multi-septate and breakdown into 64 part-spores, 250-388 × 1-1.5 μm. Part-spores hyaline, cylindrical, 4-12 × 1-1.5 μm. Vegetative hyphae hyaline, septate, branched, curved, smooth-walled. Phialides hyaline, solitary, smooth-walled, ampulliform, subglobose, ovoid, obpyriform, 3-7 × 1-2 μm. Conidia hyaline, walls smooth, globose to subglobose, broadly ellipsoid, 1-3 × 1-3 μm.
Culture characteristics:
Colony on PDA dense, velutinous, floccose, closely appressed and slightly convex to the agar surface, orange white in the middle, white in the middle and margin, sporulation starts at 15 d after inoculation, 25−30 mm diam in 10 d, 50−53 diam in 20 d.
