Introduction to the study of fungi : their organography, classification, and distribution for the use of collectors . pileus has a distinctouter stratum analogous to that inPolystiduSy with an intermediatestratum, and a smooth, even hymenium(Fig. 57). Closely resembling inappearance is Hymenochaete, with theexception that the hymenium isvelvety, with processes resemblingbristles. With the exception of Skep-peria, in which the pileus is vertical,most of the remaining genera arewholly resupinate. These are : Conio-pliora, in which the effused substanceis membranaceous and smooth, with coloured spores ; Corticium,in which the effused substance is usually thicker and firmer,but without an intermediate stratum, the hymenium smooth andrather waxy, and the spores uncoloured; Feniophora, with thehabit of Corticium,\i\xt with a velvety hymenium; and Hypochnus,with the habit and appearance of Corticium, but with the sub-stance softer, floccose, and more lax, and the hymenium less com-pact, but still the spores are uncoloured. To these must be addedthe small genera—Aleurodiscus, with a somewhat saucer-shaped. Fig. 57.—Stereum hirsutum. HYMENOMYCETES 143 pileus, and peculiarities of structure which prohibit its unisonwith Corticium ; Michcncra, with a placentiform habit, a waxyhymenium, and pedicellate spores ; and Exdbasidium and Helico-iasidium, which are encrusting and waxy, growing upon livingplants, and distorting them. Finally, Cyijhclla, having the formof Peziza but the fruit of Corticium, being in fact a cup-shapedCorticium ; and Solcnia, the cups of which are elongated intotubes, so that it seems doubtful whether they should be placedin relationship with Foria, in Polyporeae, or with Cyphella inThclcpliorcac. Briefly and succinctly, these are the principal genera ofThele/phoreae, but before dismissing them we must advert tocertain appendages of the hymenium whichdistinguish some of the genera aboveenumerated. In addition to the basidiathere are to be found in the g
