1. These conidium move along to a susceptible surface to germinate. 2. Reproductive features include pynidia ( conidium ); apothecia unknown. 3. Conidium development is distinctive and was first described by Ingold in 1956.4. These conidiophores are indistinguishable from vegetative hyphae until production of the first conidium . 5. These then asexually bud into conidium spores. 6. Each conidium is two celled with the apical cell being larger than the curved basal cell. 7. The conidiophore is also known to occasionally branch into 1-3 sections each bearing its own conidium . 8. When the conidium lands on a leaf, it will wait until the nighttime dew, and then germinate. 9. Once fusion occurs, the respective nuclei can pass through the fused CATs from one conidium to the other. 10. The mechanism for projection relies on the conidiophore consisting of a flask-shaped support cell that bears the conidium .
