Habitat:
Buried in the soil.
Host:
Orthoptera nymph.
Description:
Stroma arising from head of orthopteran nymphs. Fertile head globose, 2-4 × 3 mm, gray orange when fresh, light brown. Stipe light cream, 1-4.5 cm long, 1.5-2 mm in breadth. Perithecia obclavate, completely immersed, 520-650 × 150-250 μm. Asci hyaline, cylindrical, eight-spored, up to 400 μm long, 5 μm wide. Ascospores hyaline, filiform, multi-septate, breaking into 64 cylindrical part-spores, 5-10 × 1-1.5 μm.
Culture characteristics:
Colony on PDA in 30 d at 25°C approximately 2 cm in diam, white, velvety with irregular edges, colonies reverse uncolored. Mycelium smooth-walled, septate, hyaline. Conidiogenous cells phialidic, swollen at the base or slightly flask-shaped, in whorls of 2–3, 7–20 × 2–3 μm, with distinct phialide necks, 2–8 × 1 μm. Conidia hyaline, smooth, aseptate, distinctly of two types, mostly cylindrical, 5–7 × 1–1.5 μm, fusiform, 3–5 × 1 μm, mostly aggregated in slimy heads at the apex of three phialides. Sparse synnemata with conidiogenous cells producing conidia observed after 45 days, white, on the center of colonies.
