Chrysosporium is a genus of hyaline hyphomycetes fungi in the family Onygenaceae. Chrysosporium colonies are moderately fast-growing, flat, white to tan to beige in color; they often have a powdery or granular surface texture. Hyaline, one-celled are produced directly on vegetative hyphae by non-specialized cells. Conidia are typically pyriform to clavate with truncate bases (6 to 7 by 3.5 to 4 um) and are formed either intercalary (arthroconidia), laterally (often on pedicels), or terminally.
