Description

Conidiophores 300-450 μm long (x̅ = 360.4 μm, SD = 30.8, n = 20), 3.6-6.5 μm wide (x̅ = 4.7 μm, SD = 0.92, n = 20), mononematous, branched in apex, erect, single, 5-7 septate, brown or dark brown, smooth. Conidiogenous cells lacking. Conidia 20-38 μm long (x̅ = 25.8 μm, SD =4.9, n = 20), 17-23 μm wide (x̅ = 18.4 μm, SD = 2.2, n = 20). Pyriform or obovoid brown or dark brown.

Notes

This species was originally assigned to Monotospora Corda by Berk and Curtis and later was transferred to Phragmocephala E.W. Mason & S. Hughes, Monosporella S. Hughes and Monotosporella S. Hughes ( Hughes 1958). Ellis (1959) transferred it to Brachysporiella Bat. as Brachysporiella setose . Gao (2016) found this species in Shunhuang Mountain, Hunan Province. This fungus is mainly distributed in South Carolina and usually found on rotten wood ( Sadowski et al. 2012). B. setosa is very close to B. rhizoidea (V. Rao & de Hoog) W.P. Wu in morphology, but the conidiophores of B. setosa are shorter (140-260 × 4.5-6 μm vs. 50-80 × 4-5 μm) ( Tsui et al. 2001, Sadowski et al. 2012).
