Many features of this genus are suggestive of the Sclerodermataceae, but unfortunately it has been little studied. It is possible that other genera which have not yet been studied ontogenetically may belong here, but such fragmentary statements as have been made lead one to classify them elsewhere for the present. Sclerodermataceae.—This family includes a group of simple forms with a simple peridium which splits irregularly at maturity (except in Scleroderma Geaster) and a chambered gleba, penetrated by a slightly developed capillitium, and becoming dusty at maturity. The fructifi- cations of S. Bovista and S. vulgare are usually epigaeous, arising laterally or terminally on mycelial threads, from a homogeneous tissue of thin- walled, tangled hyphae which radiate toward the periphery. These.
