deliquescens as a synonym of G. viride, although without explanations. If it is assumed that the wide variation of conidial size given by Matruchot (1893) is due to non-standardised culture conditions, including aberrant extremes, and that the size given by Sopp (1912) is based on immature conidia, then the synonymy makes sense.
The fact that type material is neither available for G. viride (J. Mouchacca, pers. comm.) nor for G. deliquescens (W. Gams, pers. comm.) makes a verification impossible. The description by Gilman and Abbott (1927; also cited by Gilman 1957, Thom 1930, Subramanian 1971) of G. deliquescens is morphologically in accordance mTOR inhibitor with the anamorph of H. lutea. Assuming conspecificity of G. deliquescens and G. viride, the latter would have priority for the combination of the anamorph taxon in Trichoderma, but is unavailable because of the resulting homonymy with T. viride Pers. Therefore G. deliquescens becomes the valid name to be combined in Trichoderma as the anamorph of H. lutea. Morphologically T. deliquescens is an extreme form or final stage in a development from dendritic Trichoderma conidiophores with divergent phialides to a virtually unbranched conidiophore with more or less parallel phialides, i.e. mononematous, penicillate conidiophore, and in addition with conidia wrapped in a mucous exudate. This latter trait is absent in other species of Trichoderma except for T. luteocrystallinum. Considerably more distinctly
branched conidiophores with a gliocladium-like arrangement Nivolumab cost of phialides and green conidia are found in several other species of Trichoderma, e.g. T. gelatinosum. Similar conidiophores but with hyaline
conidia occur in the Psychrophila clade. Hypocrea luteocrystallina Jaklitsch, Siepe & L.G. Krieglst., sp. nov. Fig. 79 Fig. 79 Teleomorph of Hypocrea luteocrystallina. a–h.
