  Perithecia

  The 
  strings 
  of 
  spores 
  are 
  nearly 
  or 
  quite 
  colorless, 
  sometimes 
  

   branched 
  in 
  a 
  retiform 
  manner, 
  sometimes 
  involved 
  in 
  mucus. 
  The 
  

   character 
  of 
  the 
  perithecia 
  separates 
  the 
  genus 
  from 
  Myxormia.

  The 
  strings 
  of 
  spores 
  sometimes 
  adhere 
  to 
  each 
  other 
  laterally. 
  

   Sometimes 
  there 
  is 
  the 
  appearance 
  of 
  a 
  spurious 
  or 
  divided 
  endo- 
  

   chrome 
  in 
  the 
  spores.

  The 
  perithecia 
  on 
  the 
  galls 
  are 
  so 
  crowded 
  that 
  they 
  appear 
  to 
  the 
  

   naked

  to 
  form 
  a 
  continuous 
  black 
  crust.
