Holotype:

THAILAND, Chaiyaphum Province, Pong Dueat Pa Pae Geyser, 5 Jul. 2008, S. Mongkolsamrit, B. Thongnuch, K. Tasanathai, P. Srikitikulchai, A. Khonsanit, holotype BBH 24730, ex-type living culture BCC 31787.


Habitat:

Underside of bamboo leaves.


Host:

Scale insect nymphs (Hemiptera).


Description:

Stroma usually discoid, distinctly stud-shaped, up to 4 mm diam and 2 mm high, pale yellow, base surrounded by a membranous hypothallus. Sexual morph No stromata observed. Conidioma scattered around a narrow neck, extruding an orange yellow mass of conidia. Conidiogenous cells cylindrical, up to 23 μm long, 1-2 μm wide. Conidia fusoid, 9-12.5 × 1.5-2.5 μm. Paraphyses present, linear, filiform, up to 110 μm long; 1-2 μm wide. The hirsutella-like synanamorph is scattered on the upper surface of the stroma, phialides with a long thin neck, up to 20 μm, 1-2 μm wide, conidia citriform, 2-3 × 1-2.5 μm.


Culture characteristics:

Colony on PDA grew slowly, to approx. 5 mm diam after 2 weeks at 20 °C. The stromatic colonies formed a compact mycelium. The cream to pale yellow conidial mass covers the stromatic colonies.
