After Smith. Erysiphaceae (p. 170) "â "⢠"â¢" This family on account of its abundance everywhere, its sim- plicity of structure, and its possession of typical ascigerous and conidial stages forms a favorite type for introductory study of the Ascomycetes. Its members are easy of recognition, form- ing a coating of white conidia, conidiophores and mycelium upon the surface of its hosts and giving them an appear- ance much as though they had been lightly dusted with flour. Later in the season the white patches are more or less liberally sprinkled with the black perithecia leading to the conmion name powdery mildew. An important list of the economic forms and their hosts has been published by ; The mycelium except in Phyllactinia is entirely superficial. It is usually quite hyaline and is branched, septate and its cells uninucleate. It fastens to the host and penetrates its epidermal cells by uninucleate haustoria which by their various lobings aid in specific characterization. Figs. 122, 123. Haustoria may be grouped in three general classes; (1) those arising directly from the lower surface of the mycelium; (2) those arising at the side of the mycelium as small semicircular processes; (3) arising from more or less deeply-lobed lateral swellings of the mycelium. The relation of the haustoria to the host cells has been extensively studied by Smith.⢠The conidia arise in basipetal succession on simple scattered conidiophores (Fig. 129); are hyaline, oval or barrel-shaped, smooth, 1-celled. Neger has shown that they vary greatly in size with nutrition conditions.*" Conidia germinate readily at once in dry air, better in himiid air, producing from one to three germ tubes. Haustoria are.
