Figure Fig. 1 5-day-old colony on PDA Fig. 2 Oedocephalum sp. 14134. a–c. Conidiophores and conidia. d. Sporulation on OA. e. Conidia (Bars= 5 μm, unless otherwise specified)
Colonies Colonies on PDA attaining 79-mm at 25 °C after 5 days, velvety, pale orange, zonate, margin entire, reverse similar.
Conidiophores Conidiophores erect, simple, hyaline, 1–3-septate, slightly constricted near the septa, up to 250 µm long, 2–7.5 µm wide.
Conidiogenous cells Conidiogenous cells discrete, terminal, swollen, subglobose, producing up to 15 conidia simultaneously, up to 16 µm in diam, often becoming collapsed with age.
Conidia Conidia globose to subglobose, hyaline, smooth, 12–15 µm in diam.
Note This is an asexual state of discomycetes. According to the BLAST results of the ITS and LSU sequences of strain 14134, Iodophanus testaceus CBS 301.63 is the closest species, with similarities of 95.67% (MH858291) and 99.6% (MH869899), respectively. Iodophanus testaceus has been found on a variety of plant debris and has also been reported to produce an Oedocephalum asexual state in culture (Kimbrough et al., 1969). Iodophanus species are mostly coprophilous.
