Cordana terrestris (Timonin) Hern.-Restr., Gené & Guarro, in Hernández-Restrepo et al., Mycologia 106, 729 (2014)
Index Fungorum number: IF 807979; Facesoffungi number: FoF 05475; Fig. X
Hyphae septate, branched, smooth, subhyaline to hyaline, becoming rough and brown when mature. Asexual morph: Conidiophores 25–73 × 1.5–3.5 μm (x̅ = 44 × 2 μm, n = 20), micronematous, mononematous, solitary, erect, unbranched or branched, septate, straight or flexuous, cylindrical, hyaline to sub-hyaline. Conidiogenous cells holoblastic, polyblastic, terminal, discrete, hyaline. Conidia 4–7 × 2.5–4.5 μm (x̅= 5 × 3.5 μm, n = 20), terminal, mostly oblong, sometimes ellipsoid or sub-cylindrical, guttulate, sometimes mid-region slightly constricted, hyaline, smooth-walled. Sexual morph: Undetermined.
Culture characteristics – Colonies on PDA become 30 mm in diam. after 14 days at 25 ℃, flat, effuse, dark gray to black-brown, undulate margined, reverse grayish brown at the center and become dark brown to brown at the margin.
