FIG. 94. Panaeolus campanulatus. Analysis of the hymenium as seen in surface 

 view on the second day of spore-discharge. A, an area equal approximately 

 to 0-005 square mm. (0-06 x 0-09 mm.). This area contains: (1) past- 

 generation basidia, a, which are recognisable by their four sterigmatic stumps 

 and which are set out separately at B ; (2) present-generation basidia, b, each 

 of which bears four black spores and which are set out separately at C ; (3) 

 coming -generation basidia, c, heavily shaded with dots and set out separately 

 at D ; (4) future-generation basidia, d, smaller than the coming-generation 

 basidia and slightly shaded wfth dots, set out separately at E ; and (5) 

 paraphyses, e, not shaded and partly hidden by the other elements, set out 

 separately at F. Magnification, 580.

 present-generation basidia present on the same area. The inference
