 No. 70 has the same general appearance as this but differs in its shorter 

 asci and 3-septate, subbiseriate sporidia In the specc. of H. Coulter/ 

 we have found only one septum in the sporidia, which are decidedly 

 brown, while in the Bavarian fungus, they are (at least in the specimen 

 quoted) hyaline.
