 paraphyses which were in part seen through the basidia are shaded

FIG. 100. Panaeolus campanulatus. Analysis of a very 

 young hymenium, seen in surface view, before any 

 spores have been developed. A, (gill placed on slide 

 under cover-glass, no water added) shows basidia 

 only : those of the first generation, a, are the most 

 prominent ; those of the second generation, b, less 

 prominent ; and those of succeeding generations, 

 c, least prominent. B, (gill mounted in water, plane 

 of focus on the paraphyses) shows the paraphyses 

 shaded with dots. The basidia, which are larger and 

 overlie the paraphyses, have their positions indicated 

 by broken circles. C, (gill mounted in water) a plan 

 of all the elements in a small portion of the hymenium. 

 The larger elements are the basidia which have been 

 set out at D, and the smaller ones the paraphyses 

 which have been set out at E. Magnification, 580. 



smaller than the basidia, and are ensconced between the basidia, 

 particularly where three basidia adjoin one another. Another 

 portion of the hymenium, which was observed when immersed 

 in water, is shown in Fig. 100, C. Here, every element of the
