are interpreted as spores which germinate in situ, and Tulasnella 

 is placed in the Thelephoraceae near Corticium. 



According to Martin (1945), who has devoted extensive con- 

 sideration to the Tremellales, members of this order "afford a 

 satisfactory transition to the rusts, on the one hand, and to the 

 Homobasidiomycetes, on the other."

AURICULARIALES 



Included among the Auriculariales are many gelatinous fungi 

 in which the basidium is transversely septate and is divided into 

 4 cells, each of which forms a basidiospore. In some fungi the
