Mycelium superficial or immersed compose of pale brown to brown, branched, septate, constricted at septa, with a mucilaginous outer wall layer, moniliform, smooth and thin-walled hyphae. Sexual morph: Undetermined. Asexual morph: Pycnidia superficial or immersed, globose or cylindrical, pale to dark brown, mostly intercalary, lateral or terminal on erect hyphal branches. Ostiole lacking or not well-developed, mostly releasing conidia by means of irregular rupture. Conidia hyaline, aseptate, ellipsoid to ovoid, smooth and thin-walled with minute guttules (Abdollahzadeh et al. 2020).
Note: Abdollahzadeh et al. (2020) established Neoantennariella with the type species of Neoantennariella phylicae and is only known from asexual state. Neoantennariella is morphologically similar to Antennariella by small globose to obovoid, stalked, ostiole lacking pycnidia composed of pseudoparenchymatous wall and hyaline, aseptate conidia. However, it differs from Antennariella by ellipsoid to ovoid conidia while Antennariella has globose to sub globose conidia (Fig. 1).
Type species: Neoantennariella phylicae Abdollahz. & Crous, Stud. Mycol. 95: 406 (2020).
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Neoantennariella.
