The largest number inhabit the ground or flourish onrotten wood, and by far the most part are confined to temperateclimates, species found in tropical or subtropical regionsbeing chiefly those of a tough and leathery consistence. TheMorels, for instance, when they occur in India, are found atconsiderable elevations on the Himalayas, where the climatecorresponds to that of temperate regions (Fig. 73).
