Stemphylium sp.

Stemphylium sp. showing solitary, darkly pigmented (phaeo), terminal, multicellular conidia (dictyoconidia) formed on a distinctive conidiophore with a darker terminal swelling.  Note the conidiophore proliferates percurrently through the scar where the terminal conidium (poroconidium) was formed.  Stemphylium should not be confused with Ulocladium, which produces similar dictyoconidia from a sympodial conidiophore, not from a percurrent conidiogenous cell as in Stemphylium.
