 producing Aecidiospores. 



Aethalium — body formed in Myxo- 

 mycetes from a large combination of 

 Plasmodia. 



Alveolate — pitted like honeycomb. 



Amoeboid — like an Amoeba ; applied to 

 a protoplasmic body which creeps 

 by putting out and retracting 

 pseudopodia. 



Angiocar2}oiis—h.a.vmg the hymenium 

 developed within the sporophore, and 

 covered from the first by a special 

 envelope. 



Annulus — in Hymenomycetes, portion 

 of the veil, or tissue of the stipe 

 forming a collar or ring. 



Anfheridiuvi — male sexual organ. 



ArcMcarp — cell, or group of cells, fertil- 

 ised by a sexual act. 



ArthrosjMrous — such Schizomycetes as 

 have no endogenous spore-formation. 



Asciferous, Ascigerous — bearing asci. 



Ascocarp — a sporocarp bearing asci and 

 sporidia, or ascospores. 



Ascogenous — producing asci. 



Ascophore — sporophore bearing an 

 ascus. 



Ascospore — spore contained in an ascus 

 = sporidium. 



Ascus, Theca — large cell or sac in 

 which ascospores are developed, 

 typically eight. 



Autoecious, or Autoxenous — a parasite 

 which goes through the whole course 

 of its development on a single host. 



Autonomous— \Aaj\\ls that are perfect 



and complete in themselves, not 

 Ibrmiug part of a cycle. 



Basidiophore — sporophore bearing a 

 basidium. 



Basidiospore — spore produced at the 

 apex of a basidium. 



Basidium — mother - cell from which 

 spores are abjointed. In Hymeno- 

 mycetes, a sporophore bearing from 

 one to four spores on short sterig- 

 mata. 



Brood-cell — same as gonidium or coni- 

 dium. 



Cap — in Hymenomycetes, same as 

 pileus. 



Capillitium — sterile threads or tubes, 

 often branched, mixed with the 

 spores in the spore-masses of some 

 Gasti'omycetes and Myxomycetes. 



Carpophore — generally, the support of 

 the fructification ; specially, the stalk 

 of a sporocarp. 



Carposporc — spore formed in a sporo- 

 carp. 



Chlamydosporc — spore with a very thick 

 spore-membrane. 



Chlorophyll — the green colouring 

 matter in plants, absent in all 

 Fungi. 



Clwmp-comiection — small semicircular 

 protuberance attached through its 

 length, or leaving an eyehole, to the 

 walls of two adjoining cells of a 

 septate hypha, and stretching over 

 the septa between them, communicat- 

 ing with one or both, or cut off from 

 both, and forming a clamp-cell. 



Clcistocarp — ascocarp forming a com- 

 pletely closed cavity, which is finally 

 ruptured to permit the ascospores to 

 escape. 



Columella — sterile central body in a 

 sporangium. 



Concatenate — linked together in a 

 chain.
