The spores easily break from the flocci on which they are 
supported as if on a peduncle half their own length. Their 
greatest thickness is usually near the base, the lower part tapering | 
rapidly, the upper, gradually to their respective extremities. Some 
spores are oblong, others linear. They are seldom strongly curved 
and this character is not always present even in C. caricinum.
