Stilbella aleuriata

A subtropical species widely distributed throughout the Caribbean, with synnemata consisting of a cylindrical, whitish stipe bearing a rounded, viscid, bright orange head, 5 to 10 mm in height, with a head diameter of 0.5 to 1.2 mm.

Stipe support hyphae cylindrical, hyaline, arranged parallel to each other, thin- to moderately thick-walled, 2.5 to 4 µm thick, septate with simple septa.

Conidiophores branched, hyaline, thin-walled, giving rise to cylindrical to slightly fusiform phialides (conidiogenous cells) 12 to 25 µm long and 1.5 to 2.5 µm wide.

Conidia cylindrical-ellipsoidal, smooth, hyaline, thin-walled, 3 to 6 µm long, 1.5 to 2.5 µm wide, containing oil droplets (guttules) of varying size inside.
