- Hyphae coenocytic, thin-walled, aseptate, usually - shaped in cross-section; oogonia terminal, more or less spherical, up to 20 m in diameter, opaque-walled at maturity, ornamented, subtended by wide or narrow hypha (oogonial stalk); oogonial wall ornament of short bristles or hairs; simple septum between oogonium and oogonial stalk; stalk often slightly narrower immediately below oogonium; antheridium amphigynous; ovoid structures occasionally present in cells containing oogonia, terminal on hyphae, typically larger than oogonia, separated from partental hypha by constriction; putative zoospore cysts dome-shaped, usually < 10 m in diameter, thick-walled, faintly ornamented; endophytic in Biscalitheca cf. musata, intracellular, vegetative hyphae extending along inner surfaces of host cells, oogonial stalks and ovoid structures extending into cell lumen, putative zoospore cysts sessile.
