All isolates were characterised following the protocols described by Leslie & Summerell (2006) using potato dextrose agar (PDA; recipe in Crous et al. 2009 ), synthetic nutrient-poor agar (SNA; Nirenberg 1976 ) and carnation leaf agar (CLA; Fisher et al. 1982 ). Colony morphology, pigmentation, odour and growth rates were evaluated on PDA after 3 and 7 d at 24 °C with a 12/12 h cool fluorescent light/dark cycle as described by Sandoval-Denis et al. (2018) (link) and using the colour charts of Rayner (1970) . Micromorphological characters were examined using water as mounting medium on a Zeiss Axioskop 2 plus with Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) optics and a Nikon AZ100 stereomicroscope both fitted with Nikon DS-Ri2 high definition colour digital cameras to photo-document fungal structures. Measurements were taken using the Nikon software NIS-elements D v. 4.50 and the 95 % confidence levels were determined for the conidial measurements with extremes given in parentheses. For all other fungal structures examined, only the extremes are presented. To facilitate the comparison of relevant micro- and macroconidial features, composite photo plates were assembled from separate photographs using PhotoShop CSS.
