Description: Fungal spore (conidium) fusiform, to club-shaped, slightly curved, 62–71 x 12–14 µm, with up to 7 septa (pseudosepta or post morten dissolving?), one end tapering to a blunt tip, opposite end with a hyaline appendage with pore (hilium) or truncated, non septate forms probably immaturate, pale brown to greyish brown, psilate. Very similar to HdV-1037 van Geel et al. (2011) (cf. Helminthosporium sp., but with 70–260 μm far to large), resembles also HdV-339 van Geel et al. (1980/81) (shorter, thicker, not curved), HdV-147 van der Weil (1982) (thicker, not curved, septa only at one end), as well as HdV-1034 van Geel et al., 2011 (shorter and with additional longitudinal septa, verrucate, and long narrow cervical above attachment place).
