Endophragmiella pallescens B. Sutton, Mycol. Pap. 132: 62 (1973)
MycoBank number: MB 313595; Index Fungorum number: IF 313595; Facesoffungi number: FoF 10139; Fig. 22s
Sexual morph: Undetermined. Asexual morph: Hyphomycetous. Colonies effuse, reddish brown, hairy, originating around effete stromata of immersed microfungi and spreading over the bark. Mycelium about 4 µm wide, immersed to superficial, composed of brown, septate, branched, smooth- walled hyphae. Conidiophores macronematous, mononematous, erect, simple or branched, flexuous, infrequently rigid, septate, light brown, becoming pale brown towards the apex, smooth-walled. Conidiogenous cells monoblastic, integrated, cylindrical, terminal, apex with 1–3 unflared annellations, pale brown. Conidia solitary, acrogenous, simple, ellipsoidal, pale brown, smooth-walled, 1–2-septate, not constricted at the septa, with a basal marginal frill (adapted from Sutton 1973).
Known hosts and distribution: On dead wood of Populus tremuloides in Canada (type locality) (Sutton 1973).
Notes: The mycelium of Endophragmiella pallescens associated with stromata of Cytospora chrysosperma on natural substrate in Manitoba, Canada (Sutton 1973). The hand-drawing is provided for the type species (Fig. 22s) based on Sutton (1973).
