 Fig. 1 5-day-old colony on PDA  Fig. 2 Phanerodontia chrysosporium. a–c. Branched conidiophores bearing terminal conidia. d–f. Conidia with truncated at one end (aleuriospores) or both ends (arthrospores). g–h. Thick-walled chlamydospores (Bars= 5 μm, unless otherwise specified) |
| Colonies |
Colonies on PDA grow rapidly, attaining 45-mm in 2 days at 28°C, cottony, slight granular, reverse at first white, later becoming cream-colored. Hyphae smooth, hyaline, 3-5 µm wide. |
| Conidiophores |
Conidiophores branched or unbranched, poorly differentiated, bearing terminal conidia. |
| Conidia |
Conidia (aleuriospores) subhyaline, blastic, terminal, smooth, oval, truncate at one end, 6–10 × 4–7 µm. Arthrocondia various in size and shape, fusiform to cylindrical, intercalary, truncate at both ends. |
| Chlamydospores |
Chlamydospores produced in old culture, intercalary or terminal, subhyaline, thick-walled, globose to ovoid, 25–45 µm in diameter. |
| Note |
This species is a crust-shaped basidimycetes growing on decaying wood, and is well-known as a white rot fungus for its ability in degradation of lignin. The previous name, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, is more known. The asexual state of this species is Sporotrichum pruinosum, which has been reported to be thermotolerant and cause opportunistic infections in humans (de Hoog et al., 2000). |
