Conidia formed by micronematous conidiophores. Scale bars = 10 µm.<br />
Cultural characteristics: Colonies on PDA attaining 23 mm diam<br />
after 14 d at 25 ºC, grey-olivaceous to olivaceous, olivaceous-grey<br />
reverse, velvety, margin regular, entire edge, narrow, feathery, aerial<br />
mycelium abundantly formed, loose, with age covering large parts<br />
of the colony, woolly, growth flat with somewhat elevated colony<br />
centre, folded, regular, deep into the agar, with few prominent<br />
exudates, sporulation profuse. Colonies on MEA attaining 24 mm<br />
diam after 14 d at 25 ºC, grey- to greenish olivaceous, olivaceousgrey<br />
or iron-grey reverse, velvety to powdery, margin narrow,<br />
colourless, entire edge, somewhat feathery, aerial mycelium pale<br />
olivaceous-grey, sparse, growth convex, radially furrowed, folded<br />
in the colony centre, without prominent exudates, sporulating.<br />
Colonies on OA attaining 23 mm diam after 14 d at 25 ºC, greyolivaceous,<br />
margin more or less regular, entire edge, colourless,<br />
somewhat feathery, aerial mycelium whitish to smoke grey, at first<br />
sparse, later more abundantly formed, growth flat, without exudates,<br />
sporulation profuse.<br />

culture ex-type <strong>CBS</strong> 121626 = EXF-1733 = CPC 12052.<br />
Substrate <strong>and</strong> distribution: Hypersaline water; Israel.<br />
Notes: <strong>Cladosporium</strong> herbaroides is morphologically <strong>similar</strong> to C.<br />
herbarum but differs in having somewhat longer conidia becoming<br />
wider, darker <strong>and</strong> even more thick-walled with age [at first conidia<br />
3–33 × (2–)3–6(–7) µm, with age (3.5–)5–9(–11) µm wide]. Besides<br />
that, the species often produces a second conidial type formed on<br />
micronematous conidiophores, giving rise to unbranched conidial<br />
chains which are almost filiform, limoniform, narrowly fusiform to<br />
subcylindrical, much narrower <strong>and</strong> paler than the ones formed by<br />
macronematous conidiophores, 10–26(–35) × 2–3.5 µm. In C.<br />
herbarum, conidia formed by micronematous conidiophores do not<br />
occur as frequently as in C. herbaroides, <strong>and</strong> differ in being often<br />
clavate <strong>and</strong> somewhat wider, up to 4(–5) µm wide. <strong>Cladosporium</strong><br />
macrocarpum is easily distinguishable by having somewhat wider<br />
conidiophores (3–)4–6 µm, with distinctly wider swellings, 5–10 µm<br />
wide, <strong>and</strong> the conidia are usually (3–)5–9(–10) µm wide.<br />
