Macroconidia produced on small, cushion-like, salmon-colored sporodochia (approximately 1/16 in.  wide and 1/32 in.  high) on dead shoots and twigs, generally on needle fascicle scars.  They are present all year, but most evident in autumn and winter.  Conidia are colorless, having from 1 – 4 cells, curved, elongate, and pointed; disseminated by wind, insects, and splashing water throughout the year.
