Fungous Flora of fHE Soil 491 



thin, granulated membrane. From the principal hyphse are produced 

 side branches that average 30-40JU long; side branches are mostly without 

 septa, with smooth, bright membrane, on the summit irregularly and slightly 

 swollen and ending in a great number of wholly irregular, thin, 5-7/i-long, 

 hyaline projections (zahnen). The principal stem rarely ends similar to 

 the side branches; conidia borne singly on the projections, globose', 3. 5-5. 5 m 

 in diameter, hyaline, uniguttulate. 



Kab. On barren sandy soil in woods in Germany, Holland, Italy, 

 France, and North America, in summer and autumn.

 forked, clavate on the summit; conidia globose, 3m in diameter, borne 

 on the points of the clavate branches. 



Hab. On soil in Germany, Austria, North Italy, Finland, and Siberia, 

 summer and autumn. Lindau, I.e.
