Macromorphology (smell):
Fusarium solani 
Forms white cotton-like colonies, which turn blue-green or bluish-brown in the center. From below, the plate looks red-brown.
Micromorphology:
Fusarium solaniFusarium solani
The macroconidia are curved, broad and hyaline (transparent). They usually have three septa and often form aggregates. The microconidia are oval or cylindrical, hyaline (transparent) and usually lack septa.

Taxonomy/phylogeny: F. solani is a complex of approx. 25 closely related filamentous fungi in the family Nectriaceae.
Comment:F. solani does not produce mycotoxins, but if sweet potatoes are infected, 4-ipomeanol (pulmonary oedema factor) is produced by the sweet potatoes.
