Description:
Anamorphic stromata flat to umbonate, subglobose, 1-5 mm in diam, 1-1.5 mm in thick, white, brilliant yellow conidial masses. Conidiomata aggregated on the center of stromata, few conidiomata per stromata (2-5), U-shaped, rim around the orifice thick, narrow widely open orifices, 280-420 × 120-300 μm. Phialides hyaline, cylindrical, 11-15 × 1 μm. Conidia hyaline, fusiform, 7-10 × 1-2 μm. Paraphyses present, hyaline, filiform, up to 57 μm long, 1-1.5 μm wide. Teleomorphic stromata flat to umbonate, subglobose, 3-3.5 mm in diam, white. Perithecia scattered, semi-embedded, occasionally developing singly in stromata, numerous perithecia per stroma (≥5), obpyriform, 260-420 × 110-230 μm. Ostioles vivid yellow.
