≡ Cumulospora varia Chatmala & Somrith. Fungal Diversity 17: 3 (2004)
Asexual morph, saprobic hyphae septate, branched, superficial or immersed, pale brown. Conidiophores absent. Conidiogenous cells holoblastic, integrated, terminal, determinate. Conidia 24-87 × 21-51 μm, dark grey to fuscous, solitary, scattered or gregarious, muriform. Conidia initially spiral, but cell division in several planes, leads to a tangled knot of cells that may number 40 or more and up to 20 μm diam. or more of each individual cell. Sexual morph: Undetermined (Description based on Chatmala et al. (2004)).
