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.
