. Introduction to the study of fungi, their organography, classification, and distribution for the use of collectors . t ofthem are nearly globose, and theouter coat is harder than in the Truffles. In former times theyhad a fanciful reputation in medicine, but have long since goneout of use. It will be observed that in the majority of the TiLbcraceac,where the pressure is equalised during growth, the asci, whichcontain the sporidia, approach a globose form,whilst in the genera where the hymenium is effusedover the interior, as in those which approach theDiscomycetes, the pressure is lateral and the asciassume a cylindrical form, as typical in the fleshyDiscomycetes. In none of them are paraphysespresent. No facts are known which can lead tothe inference that any kind of sexual reproduction is probablein this group ; and although it is believed that the germinationof the sporidia results in the production of mycelium, but littleis known of the process of germination. Spores, or sporidia,consisting of a single cell appear to be universal, and theform approaches more nearly to the globose than any Fig. 84.—Elaphomyces and section.
