From these intra- malrical, especially subcortical, parts other strands may proceed which develope as ex I ram a trica I strands usually in the soil, and are therefore subterranean, and branch and spread the Fungus over wide distances from one tree to another. These strands become more than 3 mm. thick and are round on the transverse section ; they can also develope into enormous masses in moist rotting timber. The cylindrical subterranean strands consist when fully formed of a dark-brown, brittle, usually smooth peripheral tissue or rind enclosing a white finely-felted me- dulla. The rind, which in stout specimens has the thickness of paper, is formed in its outer portion of about twelve or more layers of cell-rows (hyphae) running down the length of the strand, and connected with one another laterally without Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bary, A. de (Anton), 1831-1888; Balfour, Isaac Bayley, 1853-1922.
