Associated with dead cladodes of Ruscus aculeatus. Sexual morph: Undetermined. Asexual morph: Conidiophores mononematous (aerial conidiophores) or sporodochial. Aerial conidiophores simple, unbranched or irregularly branched, sometimes reduced to single lateral phialides or phialidic pegs on the hyphae. Conidiogenous cells monophialidic, cylindrical, tapering towards apex, with periclinal thickening inconspicuous or absent, smooth- and thin-walled, occur singly. Microconidia absent. Aerial macroconidia falcate, 1–5(–6)-septate, curved to lunate, with a blunt apical cell and often obtuse, poorly- to well-developed foot-shaped basal cell, thick-walled. Sporodochia white, pale luteous to pale citrine. Sporodochial conidiophores irregularly and verticillately branched, consisting of short, smooth- and thin to thick-walled stipes bearing apical whorls of mono- and polyphialides. Sporodochial conidiogenous cells monophialidic and polyphialidic, doliiform, subulate to subcylindrical, apex with reduced collarette, smooth- and thin-walled. Sporodochial macroconidia similar to aerial macroconidia. Chlamydospores subglobose to ellipsoidal, solitary or arrange in chains (adapted from Crous et al. 2021).
Type species: Nothofusarium devonianum L. Lombard, Crous & Sand.-Den., in Crous et al., Stud. Mycol. 98(no. 100116): 72 (2021).
