Taxonomical Group

Fungi

Type description

Conidia are 145–255× 35–40 μm size, fusiform, straight or slightly curved, dark-brownwith pale end cells. Spores have 6–14 septa, 2–5 μm thick. Spores are constricted at septa. The wall is 2–4 μm thick with scarce irregular longitudinal ornamentation (rugulate to coarse striate). Based on similar morphology, the type KNG 7 is assigned to hyphomycete genus Xylomyces. [..] Morphologically, the type KNG 7 is the most close to X. chlamydosporus and X. giganteus. For this two and possibly upcoming species with same spore morphology the X. chlamydosporus-type is erected here: Shumilovskikh et al 2016
