Gross Structure. — Secure a group of perfect specimens which have been dug up with some of the mycelium attached. Note : (a) The division into an aerial fruiting portion,^ commonly called the mushroom, and the underground mycelium, or " ; Draw the entire portion above ground. (5) The stages in the development of the cap and its stalk from the "buttons" (Fig. 185, A). (c) The cap, gills, ring, and stalk of a fully developed mushroom. Observe the mode of origin of the ring. 1 The word " fruiting " is often used with reference to spore-plants to apply to the spore-bearing portions or the spore-producing 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 Bergen, Joseph Y.
