Holotype:

THAILAND, Phitsanulok Province, Ban Phaothai community forest, 10 Oct. 2015, A. Khonsanit, D. Thanakitpipattana, S. Lamlertthon, W. Noisripoom, S. Mongkolsamrit, holotype BBH 41710, extype living culture BCC 79272.


Habitat:

In leaf litter.


Host:

Seed (Smilacaceae)


Description:

Stromata solitary or multiple, unbranched, tough, 20-75 mm long, 0.5-2 mm broad, cylindrical to enlarging apically, arising from the seed buried approximately 5-10 mm underground. Fertile part moderate orange yellow to brown orange, cylindrical to clavate, 5-20 mm long, 1.5-2.5 mm broad. Perithecia completely immersed, ordinal in arrangement, narrow flask-shaped, 320-570 × 120-180 μm, ostioles darker reddish orange. Asci cylindrical, 8-spored, 105-245 × 7-10 μm with caps 4-5 μm thick. Ascospores hyaline, whole, filiform, 7-8 septate, 70-105 × 2-4 μm. Colour change of stromata in 3 % KOH not observed.


Culture characteristics:

Colony on PDA attaining 30–35 mm diam in 30 d, cottony with high mycelial density, pale yellow to strong orange yellow, reverse pale brown. Synnemata deep orange yellow, 5–20 × 2–2.5 mm. Conidiogenous structures consisting of erect conidiophores arising from the vegetative hyphae. Conidiophores consist of verticillate phialides, singly or in whorls of two. Phialides awl-shaped, 20–40 × 1.5–2.5 μm. Conidia hyaline, globose, not in chains, 4–6 μm diam. Chlamydospores not observed.
