The Helicogloea compressa

Helicogloea compressa is an anamorph fungus which grows on dead hardwood. This species makes asexual spores called conidia in a cushion-like structure called a sporodochium. The spores are borne at the tips of slightly compressed branches and this feature is reflected in the species name.
