B. fusiforme is characterized by fusiform to oval conidia. B. obovoides is characterized by obovoid, muriform conidia, sometimes with one hyaline inflated subtending basal cell. B. tetraploides is distinctive in having pyriform and muriform conidia, which are usually composed of four columns of cells. Monodictys juglandis is transferred to Berkleasmium.
