Index Fungorum number: IF 818988; Facesoffungi number: FoF 02693
Etymology: Named in honour of Professor Eric H. C. McKenzie for his outstanding contributions to mycology.
Holotype: MFLU 16-2661
Saprobic on decaying wood in a stream. Mycelium partly immersed, partly superficial, pale brown, septate, with sparsely branched hyphae, with masses of crowded conidia. Sexual morph: Undetermined. Asexual morph: Conidiophores 60–102.5 μm long, 4.5–6 μm wide, pale brown, macronematous, erect, short, smooth-walled. Conidiogenous cells monoblastic, holoblastic, integrated, denticulate. Conidia 26.5–32.5 μm diam. and conidial filament 4.5–6.5 μm wide (x̄ = 28.5 × 5.5 μm, n = 20) with (99–) 116–141 μm long, tightly coiled 2.5–3.5 times, rounded at apical end, multi-septate, up to 23–septate, slightly constricted at septa, hyaline, smooth-walled.
Culture characteristics: Conidia germinating on water agar (WA) within 12 h. Colonies growing slowly on malt extract agar (MEA), irregular, surface rough, edge undulate, reaching 11 mm in 2 weeks at 28 °C, brown to dark brown in MEA medium. Mycelium superficial and partially immersed, branched, septate, hyaline to pale brown, smooth-walled.
