bers filled with gel like those of the stipe wall. Similarly, there arises a 

 small projection V which in Echinophallus attains a greater development 

 (Fig. 336, 1, 2). The space between it and the pileus H is occupied by 

 an opaque gel / which in some spots is directly connected with the gel of

 of the receptacle has elongated and the gleba has mostly disappeared while the indusium is 

 folded and hidden under the pileus. 2. Fructification, showing unfolded indusium. (1,

the stipe chamber. Below the zone /, in the space between the stipe wall 

 St.W. and the pileus, i.e., the gleba, lies the bluish-gray, comparatively 

 loose tissue A. These tissue differentiations have arisen in the same 

 manner as their homologues in P. impudicus; there they have vanished
