  small, 
  oblong, 
  elliptical 
  or 
  linear, 
  at 
  first 
  covered 
  by 
  the 
  

   epidermis,

  erumpent,

  a

  The 
  fungus 
  frequently 
  grows 
  in 
  long 
  lines 
  or 
  series. 
  Mature 
  

   fruit-bearing 
  specimens 
  especially 
  occur 
  on 
  the 
  older 
  and 
  more 
  dis- 
  

   colored 
  stems. 
  The 
  septa 
  are 
  from 
  five 
  to 
  nine, 
  the 
  intervals 
  between 
  

   them 
  being 
  very 
  short. 
  The 
  basal 
  cell 
  is 
  usually 
  the 
  longest.
