Erumpent ; peridium minute, wall double, outer 

 firm, composed of blackish, interlaced hyphee, inner 

 pale, delicate, fertile liyphps springing from 

 base of peridium, crowded, septate, producing 

 spores laterally; after the formation of the 

 spores agglutinated bundles of slender, elongated, 

 viscid hyphae spring up between the fertile hyphee 

 and carry up the spores outside the peridium ; the 

 spores on germination give origin to a slender, 

 septate, branched mycelium, or to slender, cylindrical 

 sporidia.
