Holotype:
THAILAND, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Kui Buri National Park, 7 Jan. 2011, W. Himaman, holotype BBH 45453, ex-type living culture BCC 90322.
Habitat:
Buried in soil.
Host:
Spiders (Araneidae).
Description:
Stroma solitary, up to 8 mm long and 1-1.5 mm in width, cylindrical, pale red-orange. Rhizoids flexuous, arising from the body of spiders (Araneidae), ca 2-5 mm long, buried under the ground. Fertile part at apex. Ascomata clavate to subglobose, red-orange, 1.5-5 mm long, 1-2.5 mm in width. Perithecia pseudo-immersed, obpyriform, 350-550 × 120-240 µm. Asci cylindrical, up to 280 µm long, 3-5 µm in width. Ascospores hyaline, filiform with septations, up to 250 µm long, 1 µm in width. Asexual morph, evlachovaea-like, produced on base of the stroma and on the soil surface, powdery because of heavy sporulation, whitish, synnemata up to 1.5 mm long, conidiophores usually forming verticillate branches with phialides in whorls of 2-5. Entire phialides 5-10 × 2-3.5 μm, with swollen, ellipsoidal basal portion, tapering into a neck, 1-5 × 1 μm. Conidia hyaline, mostly ellipsoidal, fusiform, aseptate, 2-3.5 × 1-1.5 μm.
Culture characteristics:
Colony developed from germinating conidia. The conidia germinated within 24 h on PDA. Evlachovaea-like conidial morphs developing after ca 7 d. Colonies on PDA fast growing, ca 2.5 cm diam in 14 d at 25 °C. Colonies pale pink, becoming white when sporulating abundantly after 30 d, reverse deep pink. Conidial structures consisting of erect conidiophores borne or aerial hyphae, verticillate with phialides in whorls of two to four. Some phialides borne directly and singly on aerial hyphae. Phialides 3–10 × 1.5–2 µm, with swollen, ellipsoidal basal portion, necks present, 1–3 × 1 µm. Conidia hyaline, ellipsoidal, fusiform, aseptate, 3–4 × 1.5–2 μm.
