Clavicipitales: Mycogone
Mycogone Link Colonies growing rapidly, cream to pinkish or red-brown. Conidiophores ± erect, verticillately branched. Conidiogenous cells in clusters of up to 5, narrow, tapering, producing conidia successively from single apical conidiogenous loci. Conidia ellipsoidal to cylindrical, hyaline, aseptate. Resting spores produced from the ends of vegetative hyphae, two-celled, the basal cell ± hyaline... [Read more of this post]
Clavicipitales: Hypomyces
Hypomyces Tul.; anamorph Cladobotryum Nees Hypomyces species, especially H. rosellus (Alb. & Schw.) Tul. (anamorph Cladobotryum dendroides (Bull.) W. Gams & Hoozemans) cause the economically significant cobweb disease of cultivated mushrooms, attacking Pleurotus as well as Agaricus culture (van de Geijn, 1982; Gray & Morgan-Jones, 1981). A useful review of the older literature is given... [Read more of this post]
Clavicipitales: Beauveria
Beauveria Vuill. Vegetative growth white or pale, with hyaline trailing hyphae or forming simple loose masses on the host, with whorls or dense clusters of conidiogenous cells forming balls of dry and powdery conidia. Conidia produced singly and separately, from short globose or flask-shaped conidiogenous cells which have an apical denticulate rhachis with a distinctly zig-zag appearance. Conidia one-celled,...
