ABSTRACT
On potato dextrose agar (PDA), C. cassiicola colonies are effuse, gray or brown in the front and gray or black on reverse. Conidiophores (measuring 4-11 μm by 110-850 μm) are pale to light brown, 3-10 septate, cylindrical, straight or curved, unbranched, and smooth. Conidia (of 5-10 μm by 27-192 μm in size) develop at the conidiophore apex and appear smoky to olivaceous, smooth, obclavate to cylindrical, subhyaline to pale olivaceous brown, 4-20 pseudoseptate, singly or in acropetal chains, with a rounded apex and truncated base [8,9].
