Tubeufia lilliputea

Formerly known as Helicomyces lilliputeus, characterized by the small dimensions of its conidia, according to keys with a diameter between 11 and 28 µm.

Mycelium superficial, shallowly immersed in the substrate, composed of septate hyphae 2-3 µm wide, with right-angled branching, hyaline or with faint pale yellow pigment inside.

Conidiogenous cells septate, with denticles on which conidia are formed, up to 4 µm wide.

Conidia helically coiled, mostly with 2-2.5 turns, multiseptate, hyaline, with conidial filament 1.5-2.5 µm wide, and faint granular internal content.
