| Figure |  Fig. 1 5-day-old colony on PDA  Fig. 2 Pseudopithomyces sacchari. a–b. Conidiogenous cells and conidia. c. Sporulation on OA. d, e, g. Conidia. f. Sporulation on the trichomes of rice grain (Bars= 5 μm, unless otherwise specified) |
| Colonies | Colonies on PDA attaining 34-mm at 25 °C after 5 days, cottony, light brown, zonate, margin entire, reverse pale brown. |
| Conidiophores | Conidiophores poorly differentiated, hyaline or pale brown, often in group. |
| Conidia | Conidia brown, ellipsoidal, constricted at the septa, smooth or echinulate, with (1–)2–3(–5)transverse septa, occasionally with a longitudinal or oblique septum, with ruptured conidiogenous cell near the base (rhexolytic secession), (10–)14–20(–23) × (5–)6–8(–9) µm. |
| Note | This species has poor sporulation in culture. To induce sporulation, refer to the note of Pyricularia oryzae. |
