Etymology.
”Muci-” refers to the slimy nature of the conidial masses, and “flexus” refers to the flexibility or branching of the conidiophores.
Description.
Surface mycelium composed of hyaline, smooth-walled, branched hyphae. Conidiophores arising directly from hyphae, straight to flexuous, erect, branched, hyaline, arranged in dense clusters or solitarily, cylindrical and slightly tapering towards the apical end. Conidiogenous cells integrated, adhering in slimy masses, apically produce conidia. Conidia often aseptate or multiseptate, granular, fusoid, apex obtuse, base truncate, straight to slightly curved, hyaline, smooth-walled.
Type species.
Muciflexus inthanonensis V. S. Silva, K. D. Hyde & Jayaward.
