. Hawaiian Fungi. Fungi. Figure: 21 .—Hexagonella peleae (No. 248) on Peleae: a, surface view of the fruiting thallus showing the solitary asci arranged irregularly among hexagonal cell meshes and the periphery of densely interwoven mycelium with loosely branching and spreading marginal hyphae; b, surface view of two ascus cavities showing naked and solitary asci, the mycelial character of the walls of the ascus cavities, and the arrangement and position of the ascospores'; c, ascospores. In the Ascocorticiaceae we have a suggestion of a possible relationship with Hexagonella in the flat, indefinite membranous thallus formed of floccose interwoven hyphae, bearing a compact layer of naked asci in a compact hymenium. Hexagonella, however, differs from the Ascocortici- aceae in that the asci are not arranged in a close, thick, erect palisade, but are solitary, and separated from each other by sterile hyphae. In the sub-order Eumyriangieae of the Myriangiales the characters of the fruiting stroma are in some respects like the fruiting thallus of Hexago- nella. This group is characterized by a cushion-like, erumpent stroma.
