Notes.

This species is similar to M. chionea , but they differ in the length of the neck [150 –200(– 266) μm in M. washingtonensis vs. 250-400 μm in M. chionea ] and in the size of the ascospores [10.5 –12(– 13.5) × 9 –10.5(– 12) × 7-9 μm in M. washingtonensis vs. 7.5-16 × 6-12 × 4-7 μm in M. chionea ], as well as in the presence of a phialidic asexual morph in M. washingtonensis .
