Veronaea botryosa

Colonies are sude-like to downy and are greyish-brown to blackish-brown. Conidiophores are erect, straight or flexuose, occasionally branched and are usually genticulate, due to the sympodial development of the conidia. Conidia are pale brown, 2-celled, cylindrical with a truncated base, smooth-walled or slightly verrucose [5-12 X 3-4 um].

Conidiophores and conidia of Veronaea botryosa.

Comments:

This genus is very similar to Rhinocladiella, however the conidia are typically 2-celled.

Clinical significance:

Rare cause of skin infection in China and the Philippines.

Mycosis: Phaeohyphomycosis
