and Stouffer (1943). In it the pileus has numerous overlapping trama 

 plates between which the gleba is formed. When the latter is washed 

 away the pileus resembles a wig perched at the apex of the stipe. 



The genus Claustula, whose ovoid receptacle remains enclosed in the 

 volva until the gleba is completely mature, has been placed by Cunning- 

 ham (1931) in a separate family, the Claustulaceae, considered by him to 

 be more primitive than the remainder of the order. Fischer (1933) includes 

 this genus in the Clathraceae with a total of 15 genera and recognizes 10 

 genera in the Phallaceae.
