Fig. 1 Bhagirathimyces himalayensis (AMH 10127, holotype, redrawn from Hyde et al. 2020). a Lobbed conidia (muriform) attached with conidiophores. b Branched conidiophore with attached conidia. c Conidia with a pale basal stalk cell. d Branched conidiophore with muriform conidium. e Macronematous conidiophore with conidium. f Conidia in chain. Scale bars: a−f = 20 µm.
