Habitat:
Buried in the soil.
Host:
Coleoptera larva.
Description:
Stroma solitary, up to 11 cm long and 1.5-2.5 mm in width, cylindrical, cream, stipe simple. Rhizoids flexuous, arising from the head of Coleoptera larva, ca 2-6 cm long buried under the ground. Fertile part distinctly subterminal with asexual morph at apex. Ascomata subterminal, cylindrical, pale yellow-brown with dark brown ostioles, 10-30 mm long, 2-3 mm in width. Perithecia completely immersed, obclavate, 300-450 × 80-170 μm. Asci cylindrical, 100-250 × 4-7.5 μm. Ascospores hyaline, cylindrical, breaking into 32 small truncate part-spores, 4-7 × 1-2 μm. Asexual morph terminal, whitish to pale yellow, up to 10 mm long, 0.5-1 mm in width. Conidiogenous cells monophialidic, phialides flask-shaped with long necks, up to 30 μm long and 2-4 μm in width; phialide necks up to 18 μm long and 0.5 μm in width. Conidia hyaline, smooth, spherical, 2-3 μm.
Culture characteristics:
Colonies on PDA moderately growing, ca 1 cm diam in 21 d at 25 °C. Colonies white, reverse pale brown. Asexual morph Hirsutella-like, observed in some strains. Conidiogenous cells monophialidic, 15–34 × 3–5 μm, necks present, 7–21 × 0.5 μm. Conidia hyaline, smooth, spherical, 3–5 μm.
