There is some difierence of opinion as to whether the 

 conidia are in reality tw^o-celled, the so-called lower cell is in 

 most species not cut off from the conidiophore by a septum, 

 of which it may be the inflated apex. 



Mycogone rosea. Link.

 slender, colouiiess, densely interwoven ; conidia obovate, 

 reddish, two-celled, upj^er cell largest, warted, lower cell
