Habitat:
Underside of leaves.
Host:
On housefly (Musca domestica)
Description:
Stromata stipitate, usually two stromata arising from the thorax region of host, beneath the wings, capitate, unbranched. Stipes cylindrical, smooth, brownish-orange, 4–8 mm long, 0.5–1.5 mm wide with a fertile apex. Sexual morph: Fertile heads hemispherical to globoid, upper surface slightly convex, moderate orange yellow, located at the terminal part of stipes, 1–2 mm thick, 1.5–2 mm diam. Perithecia immersed, ovoid to obclavate, 820–1100 × 320–400 μm. Asci cylindrical, up to 720 μm long, 4–5 μm wide, with cap 3–5 μm thick. Ascospores filiform, multi-septate, breaking into 64 part-spores, cylindrical to fusoid, 10–13 × 1.5–2 μm. Asexual morph: Synnemata usually arising from posterior
abdomen region of host, solitary, cylindrical, unbranched, brown to dark brown at the base, light brown to grey towards the apex, 5–12 × 0.5–1.5 mm, fertile region located at about two-thirds of the synnema length. Conidiogenous cells hymenostilbe-like, phialidic, forming a hymenial layer. Phialides cylindrical with short crowded denticles, 12–20 × 3–4 μm. Conidia hyaline smooth-walled, fusoid, 5–10 ×5–3 μm
Culture characteristics:
Colonies on PDA attaining a diam of 10 mm in 30 d, high mycelium density, white, reverse pale yellow. Conidia and reproductive structures not observed
