COLLECTION DATA: Collection AC 1919 (specimen housed in NB Museum), on Epilobium sp. Dead stems were collected amongst a large stand of plants at MacQuarries Esso PEI Nov 1, 2012. Incubated in moist chamber for over five months. Harvested on April 16/13 (seems to take a long time to develop as substrate collected Nov 2012).
DESCRIPTION: Colony appears as an aerial cobweb, white and dark meandering aerial hyphae. Conidia seem to develop as arthrospores, conidia 3-celled (2 septa), 15-17x3-4µm, mid cell dark brown, end cells hyaline, hyaline basal cell truncate (3-5x3-4µm), terminal cell tapered to a blunt apex. In older conidia the hyaline cells collapse. On dark areas on stems, upright conidiophores often seen on substrate surface.
NOTES: The fact that it developed after several months suggests that it may not be decomposing the stems. Perhaps it is late in a succession of numerous fungi that were the primary colonizers of the Epilobium stems. This could be a fungus that grows on the chitin of decaying microfungi/arthropod carcasses?

Growing on a chunk of stereum that may have had Badhamia growing on it at some point.
Vouchered the tiny chunk.
