Doassansia, Cornu. 



Spores in dense masses, of equal size, smooth, not 

 forming spore-clusters, produced within a special 

 receptacle formed of closely adnate sterile cells origi- 

 nating from the mycelium ; on germination the 

 resting- spores form a promycelium which bears 

 sporidia at its apex.
