The following arrangement of the Fungi is given in Lindley's 

 ' Vegetable Kingdom ' : 



Spores generally quaternate, on distinct Sporo-1 Hymenomycetet, or 

 phores. Hymenium naked / Agaricacea;. 



Spores generally quaternate, on distinct Sphoro- "I Gastcromycetes, or 

 phores. Hymenium inclosed in a Peridium. . / Lycoperdacea. 



Spores single, often septate, on more or less 1 Cmiomycete3 or 

 distinct Sporophores. Flocci of the fruit obsolete, ^ l' m linacefe. 

 or mere peduncles J 



Spores naked, often septate. Thallus floccose. }
