Conidiophores forming a central layer in the sporodochium, irregularly branched, with clamps at the septa, hyaline. Conidiogenous cells terminal and lateral, hyaline. Conidia developing at the apex of conidiogenous cells from clamps that arise from the base of the previously developed conidium, curved, dikaryotic, hyaline, forming a slimy mass covering the sporodochium.
