Morphology

No sexual stage is known. The mycelium is hyaline——to light gray. And develops sparsely as a compact stroma under the——cuticle of the "host plant." Condia (2-4 x 12-20 μm) are borne sessilely on cells of the fertile stroma. They are hyaline, "1-septate," and cylindric——to ovate, "mostly with a short apical beak." Microconida have been reported. But their function is unknown. They are exuded from flasklike mycelial branches.
