Culture characteristics. Ascospores germinating in sterilised water within 24 hours at 25 ° C, with germ tubes developed from each cell of ascospores, mostly from middle and end of spores. Colonies on PDA circular, with concentric circles, grey white in outer side, fawn in reverse side, grey in inner side, dark brown on back side. Conidial germination similar to ascospores.
