Local on old trunks, especially elderand elm. GUIDE TO THE MODELS OF FUNGI. 63 SUB-CLASS II.—GASTEROMYCETES. In the Gasteromycetes, of which the puff-balls are good examples,the plants are at first globular; the hymenium is internal, and thespores are borne in fours on the basidia,as in the Hymenontycctes, and only becomefree when the fungus is ripe. ORDER VII.—PHALLOIDE^. In their early condition the Phalloidcceare globular and puff-ball-like; there is agelatinous stratum immediately beneaththe outer membrane, and the hymeniumis deliquescent. There are three Britishgenera and four species ; three species arerepresented by models. Fig GENUS XXVII.—PHALLUS 60. — Spores on basidiafrom Lycoperdon giganteumBatsch. (Enlarged 500 dia-meters.)
