Ophiocordyceps termiticola

Ciri dan struktur

Stroma solitary, simple, filiform, up to 14 cm long, 1 mm wide, yellow-brown, ca. 6 cm emerging above the leaf litter, ca. 8 cm buried in the soil. Asexual state (Hymenostilbe -like) produced ca. 1 cm at the terminal part of the stroma, grey. Perithecia pseudo-immersed, globose to subglobose, produced on one-third of the terminal part of the stroma ending near the apex, (200–)225–261(–280) × (150–)178–229(–250) µm. Asci 8-spored, filiform, (62.5–)76.5–100.5(–110) × (4–)4.5–5.5(–6) µm. Ascospores whole, filiform, 85 × 2 µm, Asexual state Hymenostilbe -like, conidiogenous cells formed a compact hymenium-like layer and had from two to four denticles at their apices, cylindrical to clavate, (10–)11.5–16(–17) × 3–5(–6) µm. Conidia, hyaline, fusiform 7 × 3 µm. Colonies on PDA, attaining a diam. of 28 mm within 20 d at 25 °C, grey (oac781) to pale grey (oac851). Conidiogenous cells monophialidic to polyphialidic, arising from hyphae laterally, with an inflated base (7–)7.5–10(–11) × (2.5–) 3–3.5(–4) µm. Conidia hyaline, globose, 2.5–3 (–3.5) µm, one-celled with warty surface. Colonies on PSA, attaining a diam. of 22 mm within 20 d at 25 °C, white to pale grey, cotton-like. Conidiogenous cells monophialidic to polyphialidic, hyaline, smooth, with an inflated base (7–)8–10.5(–13) × 3–4 (–5) µm. Conidia hyaline, globose, (2–)2.7–3.4(–4) µm, one celled with warty surface. Colonies on SDYA /4, attaining a diam. of 29 mm within 20 d at 25 °C, grey to pale grey (oac851). Conidiogenous cells monophialidic to polyphialidic, hyaline, smooth, with an inflated base (7–)8–10.5(–13) × 3–4 µm. Conidia hyaline, globose, 3–3.5(–4) µm, one-celled with warty surface.
