It produces septate hyphae, macroconidia and microconidia. Macroconidia are abundant, fusiform and symmetrical in shape with rounded ends. The walls of macroconidia are thin and rough and they contain 3-6 cells. Microconidia are moderately numerous in number, club-shaped and located along the hyphae.
