Ulocladium sp.

Ulocladium sp.  Colonies are rapid growing, brown to olivaceous-black or greyish and suede-like to floccose.  Microscopically, numerous, usually solitary, multicelled conidia (dictyoconidia) are formed through a pore (poroconidia) by a sympodially elongating geniculate conidiophore.  Conidia are typically obovoid (narrowest at the base), dark brown and often rough-walled.  Seven species have been described all being saprophytes.
