Colonies and cardinal temperatures

Colonies on V8-A with no distinctive pattern, colonies on PDA and MEA with slow growth. The minimum temperature for growth is 5°C, optimum 30°C, and maximum 37°C.

Asexual phase

Sporangia nonpapillate, persistent, ovoid, obpyriform, limoniform, and ellipsoid (45 μm long x 30 μm wide), commonly with a conspicuous basal plug, showing nested and extended internal proliferation in sporangiophore. Hyphal swellings on sporangiophores occasionally observed. Chlamydospores rarely produced (35 μm diam) and mostly in very old cultures.

Sexual phase

Heterothallic. Isolates do not produce sexual structures in single culture. Original publication indicates that formation of gametangia with A2 tester isolates of P. cambivora and P. cinnamomi show oogonia globose with golden to brown pigment (av. 41 μm diam), antheridia predominantly amphigynous, multiple paragynous antheridia occasionally associated with an oogonium; oospores mostly plerotic (av. 38 μm), sometimes aplerotic and eccentric.
