- Hyphae intercellular, in the pericarp, septate, branched, smooth, thick-walled. Pycnidia superficial or immersed, with no definite orientation; shape and size variable, globose to subglobose, ovate-oblong or pyriform; dark, thick-walled, wall tissue pseudoparenchymatous. Pycnidia generally ostiolate, astomous when immersed; solitary or aggregated in small groups; a subicle or stroma present. Stroma typically dark brown or black, composed of thick-walled cells, uniloculate. Immature pycnidia filled with thin-walled cells. Conidia l-septate or aseptate, both kinds occurring in the same pycnidium, size variable, ellipsoidal-oblong to ovate, light to dark brown, septa twice as thick as spore walls; globose conidia 1-celled, lightly colored;
two celled conidia brown, with striations occasionally present. Conidiophores or their remnants not present.
