. The mushroom book. A popular guide to the identification and study of our commoner Fungi, with special emphasis on the edible varieties. Mushrooms; Cookery (Mushrooms); cbk. A small portion of section of gill (highly magnified) /eaving a ragged edge to the cap, and a ring or annulus of veil around the stem. The gills of the Agaricus are not fastened to the stem, but are rounded off at the end near the stem, while others, between the long ones, extend from the edge of the cap only far enough toward the stem to fill up the angles formed by the long gills. The surface of the gills is the fruiting portion of the mushroom. It is here that the spores are formed. The structure of the fungus plant up to this point has been similar throughout. A loose tangle of threads underground formed the myce- lium—the food provider. A more closely matted tangle above ground formed the stem and cap and veil, and even the central part of the gill—the fruiting parts of the plant. On the surface of the gill a difference in structure is found, which will be clearly understood from a picture of a thin section cut across a gill. (i) The central portion of the gill is made by loosely tangled mycelium threads {tr) draping themselves in thin plates from the surface of the cap. (2) Just outside of this loose mycelium, on either side, are layers of short cells {c), which bear club- shaped bodies standing out over both surfaces of the gills {b). (3) Each club bears two slen- der processes {st) at the free end, and each process bears a spore {sp). 13. Com smut.
