Sutton, Trans. Br. mycol. Soc. 84(4): 728 (1985) Materials Type status: Other material . Occurrence : recordedBy: Chun-Sheng Long ; occurrenceID: C1A8F2EF-0EC1-5EDB-B7AD- 6279AD 758FF5 ; Taxon : scientificName: Kylindria excentrica; Location : continent: Asia ; country: China ; stateProvince: Guizhou ; county: Libo county ; verbatimElevation: 875 m ; verbatimCoordinates: 25.1205N , 107.3634E ; Identification : identifiedBy: Chun-Sheng Long , Qi-Rui Li & Jian Ma ; Event : eventDate: 11/21/2021 ; habitat: on decaying wood; Record Level : collectionID: GMB0398 Description Conidiophores 200-350 μm long (x̅ = 280.6 μm , SD = 45, n = 20), 7-10 µm wide (x̅ = 8.6 μm , SD = 1.9, n = 20), mononematous, erect, simple, straight or flexuous, thick-walled, dark brown, paler towards the apex, 8-10 septate. Conidiogenous cells 48.5-60 μm long (x̅ = 53.5 μm , SD = 3.9, n = 20), 9-12 µm wide (x̅ = 10.2 μm , SD = 1.3, n = 20), with a narrow cytoplasmic channel and marked periclinal thickening in the upper quarter, lacking a collarette, proliferating enteroblastically to produce successive conidia at the same level. Conidia 21.5-40 μm long (x̅ = 29.3 μm , SD = 6.8, n = 20), 7.5-10 µm wide (x̅ = 8.2 μm , SD = 0.5, n = 20), holoblastic, solitary, accumulating in translucent slimy masses at the apices of conidiogenous, cylindrical, obtuse at the apex, slightly tapered towards the truncate base, hyaline, 3-euseptate, smooth, eguttulate. Also see Bhat and Sutton (1985) and Xia et al. (2013) . Notes Kylindria excentrica was firstly found on rotten wood in Ethiopia ( Bhat and Sutton 1985 ). Kylindria excentrica is similar to K. millettiae Y.D. Zhang & X.G. Zhang in morphology, but differs markedly in conidial dimensions (19.5-24 x 6.5-9 μm vs. 27.5-35 x 7.5-8.5 μm ) ( Zhang et al. 2010 ). In addition, K. excentrica has a lateral flat scar in the conidial base, whereas those of K. millettiae have a lateral flat scar in the excentric ( Zhang et al. 2010 ).
