347587C74F34FFECF0CC29F73DA70688.taxon	description	Mycelium mostly immersed. Conidiomata eustromatic, cyathiform, scattered, almost superficial somewhat immersed on the substratum, dark brown to black, layers of cell forming textura angularis, unilocular, 22 – 30 μm diam., 11 – 14 μm deep. Conidiophores not observed, Conidiogenous cells not observed. Conidogenesis not observed, but Conidiomatal ‘ cup’ like structure is visible both under the compound microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope, Conidial secession is not observed, but some part of the conidiomatal ‘ cup’ is still attached on the base of seceded conidial chain indicating that conidia are produced directly from the conidiomatal ‘ cup’. Conidia are produced directly from the conidiomata and forms acropetal chains having 2 – 5 conidia per chain, and the chains are sometimes branched. Conidia dry, muriform, initially brown, on maturity turn blackish brown at the apical and basal end, elongated to ellipsoidal, sometimes twisted, 42 – 80 × 15 – 24 μm (60.27 × 21.23, n = 15) widely obtuse / rounded at the apex, truncate at the base, basal conidia straight and wider than other apical conidia, sometimes conidia initials are also visible on the lateral sides of conidia indicating the branching pattern of the conidial chain.	en	Dubey, Rashmi (2021): Elotespora mumbaiensis sp. nov.: A novel species of Anamorphic Ascomycota reported from Peninsular India.
