Fungicolous on sclerotium and stroma of Ophiocordyceps sinensis. Asexual morph: Conidiophores hyaline, branched, with 2–3 whorls. Phialides hyaline, monothetic, opposite or alternate, occurring directly on aerial hyphae, sometimes born on simple conidiophores with 1–5 whorls; narrowly lageniform, normally with a thin neck, tapering gradually from the base to the tip, sometimes with a swollen basal portion, tapering abruptly at the tip, basipetally yielding the catenate conidia, 5.0–25 × 1.0–3.0 μm (x̅ = 8 μm, n = 30). Conidia hyaline, ovoid or oblong, smooth-walled, 3–4 × 2–3.0 μm (x̅ = 3.5 × 2.5 μm, n = 30). Sexual morph: Undetermined. (Description from Sun et al. 2019)
