Coryne, Berk, (in part). 



Ditiola, Fries (in part). 



During the conidial stage the structure is identical with 

 that of Tubercularia, and later on the basidia appear on the

Dacryopsis nuda. Massee. (figs. 5 and 6, p. 56.) 



Gregarious ; head hemispherical, flattened below, reddish- 

 orange, 3-4 mm. diameter; stem short, stout, white or 

 tinged yellow, minutely tomentose; 3-4 X 2-2 '5 mm.; 

 conidiophores appearing before the basidia, linear straight, 

 aseptate, simple or rarely with 1-3 short branchlets near the 

 apex, 35-40 x 1 ' 5 //. ; conidia elliptic-oblong, 3 x 1 p. ; ba- 

 sidia projecting above the conidiophores, cylindrical, bifur-

GUEPINIA. Fr. (fig. 16, p. 56.) 



Fungi cartilagineo-gelatinous, versiform, the two surfaces 

 diverse in structure ; substipitate ; hymenium unilateral ; 

 basidia linear, deeply bifurcate, bisporous ; spores curved. 

 Chains of conidia produced at the tips of hyphae springing 

 from the surface opposed to the hymenium.

 brous, attached obliquely by the back ; stem slender ; sporo- 

 phores subclavate ; spores elliptic-oblong, at first continuous, 

 then 1-3-septate, 10 x 4 p.. 



Guepinia peziza, Tulasne, Ann. Sci. Nat. 1853, p. 224.
