plate. At 21 °C under alternating 12-h NUV light and<br />

12-h darkness, colonies spread moderately fast and<br />

attain a 4.62-cm diam in 5 d. They are fluffy, zonated<br />

with sinuate margins, and dark olive gray with olive<br />

gray mycelial tufts and 4-mm grayish advancing<br />

mycelia. The colony appears slightly zonated to zonated,<br />

black, and becomes dark olive gray outward on<br />

the reverse side of the agar plate. At 28 °C under<br />

alternating 12-h fluorescent light and 12-h darkness,<br />

colonies grow fast and attain a 5.10 cm diam in 5 d.<br />
