Colonies: usually effuse, olive to dark brown or black, usually strongly felty. Mycelium superficial and immersed, setae and appressoria absent.

Anamorph: Conidiophores not strongly differentiated from vegetative mycelium, sometimes irregularly branched, straight or flexuous, pale to mid brown, smooth or verruculose. Conidiogenous cells varied in form, often polyblastic, often ± globose, smooth or echinulate, dark brown and thick-walled. Conidia dry, formed singly or in simple or branched chains and frequently simultaneously from multiple fertile loci, cylindrical to cylindric-fusiform with rounded ends, usually with multiple strongly constricted septa, olivaceous or brown, smooth, verruculose or minutely echinulate.
