MILDEWS AND RELATED FUNGI 167 contents into a single large one, from which the ascogenous hyphae then arise. Family 5. Pezizace^.—The apothecia of this family are saucer- or cup-shaped, sessile or stalked, arising from a mycelium which is found in the substratum. The peridium and hypothecium consists of rounded cells and they are of fleshy, or leathery The asci, which are usually eight-spored, are separated by distinct para- physes. The spores are usually hyaline. Lacknea and Peziza are the most important genera. Lacknea scutellata (Fig. 58) has a scarlet to vermilion-red cup, whose margin is beset with a fringe of. ^r^;:^0' Fig. 59.—Saucer-shaped fruit-bodies ot Peziza repanda. (Pholo by W. H. Walmsley). large brown bristles. It grows on wet sticks and logs in damp, or wet places, especially at the water's edge. L. hemispJuBrica has a cup i to 4 cm. wide with a bluish-white to gray disk and with brownish outside bristles which fringe the margin of the apothecium. It grows on much- decayed wood. Peziza aurantia, which is found in the fall in woods, and is edible, has a bright orange cup i to 5 cm. wide, powdery outside. At first, it is cup-shaped, then saucer-shaped and irregular. It is stemless, or nearly so. The spores are clear, elliptic and strongly netted. A woodland form, P. coccinea, is scarlet in color and suggests a wine glass in its stalked apothecium. P badia grows on the ground in grassland and woodland, and is also edible. It has a.
