Holotype:

THAILAND, Songkhla Province, Khao Nam Khang National Park, 15 Dec. 2022, B. Sakolrak, W. Himaman, P. Jangsantear, holotype BBH49635, ex-type living culture BCC 95818.


Habitat:

Underside of a dicotyledonous leaf


Host:

Spider eggs


Description:

White to cream and cottony mycelium forming on spider egg sacs. Conidiophores mono- or synnematous. Conidiogenous cells directly from the hyphae, cylindrical, > 420 µm long, 15–20 µm wide, bearing a rather irregularly, geniculate rachis. Two types of conidia: Type I (microconidia), produced on specimen, forming singly on denticles, ovoid to ellipsoidal with an apiculus, occasionally cylindrical with rounded ends, aseptate, hyaline, smooth-walled, 4–7 × 2–3 µm; Type II (macroconidia) produced on solid media (OA and PDA), fusiform, smooth-walled, 10–19 × 1.5–2 µm


Culture characteristics:

Colonies on PDA attaining a diam of 10–12 mm in 20 d at 25 °C, cottony with high mycelium density, white, moderate purplish red to dark purplish pink pigment diffusing in the medium. Conidiogenous cells on PDA arising from aerial hyphae, solitary. Conidia on PDA hyaline, fusiform, 10–19 × 1.5–2 µm.
