Macromorphology (smell):
 | Colonies grow rapidly at 30°C on glucose-pepton agar and reach a diameter of 5 cm within a week. Colonies are flat, with a smooth, moisty, velvety or floccose texture, which may resemble thin patches of cotton. |
|---|
Micromorphology:
 | S. strictum has long slender phialid cells. The conidia (3.3-5.5 x 0.9-1.8 µm) are cylindrical or elliptical and are formed in bundles at the tips of the phialid cells. |
