Representative cultures of all species are deposited in Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures, Utrecht, The Netherlands (CBS) or the American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA, U.S.A. (ATCC). Fig. 1 Bayesian phylogram obtained from the concatenated alignment of tef1, cal1 and chi18-5 loci. See Druzhinina et al. (2012) for details The Longibrachiatum Clade of Trichoderma Colonies typically growing well and sporulating at ≥ 35°C; a diffusing yellow pigment often forming on PDA (Figs. 2, 3). Conidiophores forming in the scant

aerial mycelium and in small, cottony pustules (‘shrubs’; Jaklitsch 2009, 2011) within which long, plumose conidiophores often visible; sterile hairs Olaparib cell line present or not in pustules. Conidiophores typically comprising a strongly developed INCB018424 concentration central axis from which phialides arise singly over several levels below the tip; phialides held in whorls in addition to solitary phialides in some species; often a single phialide terminating a basal cell with a short, spur-like phialide arising as an outgrowth of the basal cell at the CDK inhibitor septum (‘intercalary phialide’, Samuels et al. 1998). Phialides typically lageniform to nearly cylindrical, often hooked or sinuous. Conidia typically ellipsoidal to oblong,

smooth, less frequently subglobose or roughened to tuberculate. Teleomorphs Hypocrea; stromata a shade of brown or dark gray to black; ostiolar areas in brown stromata often green in lactic acid; part-ascospores subglobose, hyaline, roughened; lignicolous.
