(Germlings of Fimicolochytrium jonesii possess zoospore cysts that are separated from the developing zoosporangium by a constriction, often with a short germ tube. Zoosporangia enlarge to approximately 90 µm, and on PmTG agar rhizoids extend away from the zoosporangium at a distance of at least three quarters its diameter. Discharge papillae develop within 72 h on thalli grown on PmTG agar and may cluster on the zoosporangium in PmTG liquid medium. A mucilaginous plug at the apex of the papillae, like that in other Powellomycetaceae members, was not seen in F. jonesii. More commonly on PmTG agar, zoosporangia did not possess visible discharge papillae, and zoospores seemed to swim away after zoosporangia rupture, probably because of abnormal development on nutrient agar. Zoosporangia are mature after approximately 4 d on PmTG agar.)
