Type:Niveomyces coronatus J.P.M. Araújo & C. de Bekker Etymology:Name reflects the ‘snowy’ (Lat.: niveus) appearance of this fungus Description:Mycelium white to pale yellow, often covering the host entirely. Vegetative hyphae septate and hyaline. Synnemata multiple, spiky, erect, slightly sinuous to straight, not branched, tapering towards the apex, covered by hymenium-like layer of conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells polyblastic, elongated, irregular, hyaline, cylindrical, with characteristic denticles that are crowded on the apical part and less frequent towards the base. Conidia globose to ovoid formed singly on the denticles. Produces micromorphological features, such as conidiogenous cells and conidia, identical on both specimen and in culture.
