Botany. are, in some cases, straight and prismatic, or they may be dichotomous, or hooked (Fig. 252) at the free ends. a. Pyronomycetes. This order differs from the preced- ing in having the asci em- bedded in deep cavities (called perithecia) with narrow openings, instead of being com- pletely enclosed in perithecia. The pyronoraycetous Fungi are very numerous, and exceedingly injurious not only to plants, but to insects also. A common representative is the Fungus (^Claviceps purpurea ; Fig. 253), which produces the Ergot on Eye and other Grasses. In its earliest stage, it consists of a mass of myce- lium (Fig. 253, m), in and up- on the young ovary. Conidia (Fig. 253, con) are produced in great abundance, which quickly germinate. Follow- ing the conidial stage, the mycelium, at the base of the ovary (Fig. 253, ov), assumes a hard and compact form, increases in size, bears a horn-shaped and dark-colored body, the so-called Ergot. Such a compact mass of hy- phae is called a selerotium. Fig. 252. The sporocarp Yperithecium), with its appendages and two asci, of Uncifiula macrospora. Fig. 263.
