(2) Rimeola differs in the substance being more membranaceous, and often cup- shaped or ear-shaped, becoming carti- laginous 'when dry; the gelatinous hymenium being either even or plicate. , . , . And (3) Platyqlaea is wholly gelatinous, Fig. 60.âAwncularm mesen- w ' Ja n â terica, with section and mostly small, erumpent or superficial, spores- either wart-like or effused. Perhaps the nearest relation of this small group will be found in Laschia, amongst the Polyporeae. The most important subfamily is that of the Tremel- lineae, in which the basidia are subglobose. Of these, Exidia includes a variety of forms, either discoid, cup-shaped, gyrose, tubercular, or effused (Fig. 61); some of which are even, and others papillose or spiculose. The basidia are rather ovoid, immersed in the gelatine, partite in a cruciate manner, and typically tetrasporous. Spores reniform, and for a long time continuous; at length, preparatory to germination, two or more celled, each cell producing a very short filament crowned with a narrow curved sporidio- lium. In the genus Tremella the form may be pulvinate or effused, often fig. 61.âExidia, -with section brain-like, with sinuosities, but with- an spores- out papillae. The basidia are globose, and divided as in Exidia, and the spores subglobose. The promyeelium result- ing from germination produces globose or elliptic sporidiola. Conidia have been observed in some species, but neither spores, sporidiola, nor conidia are ever septate. In form. Ple
