Acrocalymma aquatica
Acrocalymma aquatica Huang Zhang & K.D. Hyde, Cryptog. Mycol. 33(3): 337 (2012)
Saprobic on submerged wood in freshwater stream. Sexual morph: undetermined. Asexual morph: Conidiomata 120–270 µm diam., 110–250 µm high, black, solitary to gregarious, immersed to partly erumpent, pycnidial, globose to subglobose or irregular in shape, unilocular, glabrous, thick-walled, papillate. Ostiole single, centrally located. Conidiomatal wall 12–27 µm wide, composed of thick-walled cells of textura angularis, with brown to dark brown cells in outer several layers, gradually merging with hyaline cells lining the cavity. Conidiophores reduced to conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells 3–10 × 2–5 µm, hyaline, enteroblastic, phialidic, cylindrical to lageniform, determinate, formed from inner layers of conidiomata. Conidia 13–17 × 2–5.5 µm (mean = 15 × 4 µm; n = 30), hyaline, cylindrical to fusiform, with rounded apex and more or less narrow truncate base, straight, unicellular when young, becoming 1–2-euseptate at maturity, not constricted at the septa, thick-walled, smooth-walled, bearing a flabellate, mucoid appendage at apex.
