 gether; opposed to Diffuse. 



CONGLU'TInATE, glued together 

 in a mass.

 ual spore (gonidium) abstricted 

 singly or otherwise from the 

 apex of a filament, as in Peron- 

 osponi. Applied chiefly where 

 the spores form a dusty or 

 powdery coat, but not used in 

 Hymenomycetes, and in less 

 use elsewhere than formerly, 

 the general term Gonidium 

 being now usually employed 

 instead.
