Both at the upper side and the underside anamorphic spires are formed in colonies of dense bundles of conidiophores; de conidia in two types, cylindric 3-4 x 15-22 µm and acicular, 3-4 x 30-45 µm.

In the literature before the revision by Kruse ao this species (mostly as E. ranunculi-repentis) was associated with a considerable number of other species; these associations are now in a need of reconsideration:
Ranunculus acris & subsp. friesianus, breyninus, cassubicus, crenatus, fallax, hyperboreus, lanuginosus, monophyllus, peltatus, polyanthemos subsp. nemorosus, sardous, trichophyllus, villosus subsp. constantinopolitanus.
