Etymology.
elliptica (Lat.) refers to the species having elliptical sporangiospores.
Holotype.
HMAS 352890 View Materials .
Colonies on PDA at 25 ° C for 4 days, reaching 90 mm in diameter, more than 15 mm high, flat, granulate, initially white, soon becoming pale mouse-grey, reverse straw-yellow stramineus. Hyphae aseptate at first, septate with age, hyaline, 5.0–18.5 μm in diameter. Rhizoids absent. Stolons absent. Long sporangiophores arising directly from substrate mycelia or aerial mycelia, transitorily curved, monopodially branched, usually with large terminal sporangia, erect, bent or rarely curved. Sporangia globose, hyaline to brownish, rough-walled, multi-spored, with more than 50 sporangiospores per sporangium, deliquescent-walled, 75.0–95.0 μm in diameter. Short sporangiophores unbranched, curved, ending with a multi-spored sproangiolum. Multi-spored sporangiola globose, hyaline, containing more than 10 sporangiospores, 30.0–50.0 μm in diameter, persistent-walled. Uni-spored sporangiola unknown. Apophyses rarely present. Collars, if present, small. Columellae usually cylindrical and rarely hemispherical, hyaline, with small droplets, 27.0–54.5 × 20.0–43.5 μm on the top of long sporangiophores, and usually conical, hyaline, with small droplets, 20.0–30.0 × 10.0–20.0 μm on the short sporangiophores. Sporangiospores elliptical, hyaline, with small droplets, 11.0–16.5 × 6.5–8.5 μm wide. Azygosporangia absent. Chlamydospores absent. Zygospores absent.
