CHAPTER V.—COMPARATIVE REVIEW.—MVCORINI. ^52, turn in a hair-point; the lateral branches of the last order swell into irregularly capitate basidia, from the short slender sterigmata of which 8-20 spherical spores are simultaneously abjointed. Similar sporiferous structures with hair-points are formed on the terminal ramifications of copiously branched gonidiophores, which rise in a curve into the air from well-fed mycelia in a similar manner to the stolons of Rhizopus. Many variations occur in the number and disposition of the whorls and the successive orders of branches ; a small cluster of spores may take the place of the terminal hair-points, especially in weakly specimens. It is hardly possible to detect any strict rule in the primary branching of the stolons, the typical form of which appears to be indiscriminately sympodial and monopodial. Some of the primary branches terminate in spore-clusters; others seize on sporangiophores of Mucor andadhere to them, and send out new stolons from the points of adherence which are swollen. Zygospores also are formed on the stolons. Cunning- ham's ChoaneplLora may also be- long to this division, with a creeping endophytic mycelium and straight erect simple sporophores ending in umbellately arranged heads of ba- sidia, from which many spores are simultaneously abjointed. 3. PiPTOCEPHALIDEAE. In Syn- cephalis the very delicate mycelium gives rise to short erect unicellular usually unbranched gonidiophores with a circle of rhizoids at their base, and with one bifurcation in S. furcata. A dense umbel of simple or dicho- tomously branching spore-rows is formed at the capitate swollen apex of the gonidiophore by the cross-sep- tation of cylindrical mother-cells (see section XVI). Fiptocephalis (Fig. 74) differs from Syncephalis in its re- peatedly dichotomouslybranched and septate simple sporophores
