Index Fungorum number: IF 532459, Facesoffungi number: FoF 05814
Saprophytic on Ophiocordyceps unilateralis. Asexual morph: Hyphomycetous. Mycelium aseptate, hyaline, smooth-walled. Phialides 20–40 × 1.1–2 (x̄ = 30 × 1.6, n = 20) μm, arising from the prostrate mycelium, blastic, enteroblastic, phialidic, monophialidic, discrete, terminal, aseptate, hyaline, smooth-walled, solitary, tapering toward the apex. Conidia 2–4.5 × 1–3 (x̄ = 3 × 1.8, n = 60) μm, hyaline, amerospores, globose to ellipsoidal, smooth-walled, adhering in globose to ellipsoidal head at the apex of phialides. Sexual morph: Undetermined (Wei et al. 2019).
Culture characters: The colonies on PDA medium were rapid-growing, reaching a diam. of 5.5 cm in 30 days at 22 °C, white, entire margin, velvety, with radial cracks and primrose-yellow on the reverse (Wei et al. 2019).
Known hosts and distributions: Widespread (see Wei et al. 2019)
Sequences data: MFLUCC 18–1385 (SSU = MK752791, LSU = MK752849, ITS = MK752683, TEF = MK926450, RPB1 = MK882622).

Phylogram generated from maximum likelihood analysis based on ITS sequence data. Bootstrap values for maximum likelihood (ML, left) and maximum parsimony (MP, right) equal to or greater than 50% and Bayesian posterior probabilities (BYPP, middle) equal to or greater than 0.90 are placed nearby the branches, respectively. The newly generated sequences are indicated in red bold and the type species are highlighted in black bold (Wei et al. 2019).
