Mycelium growing widely through parts of living plants, chiefly flowers and 

 fruits, finally disappearing, leaving the mass of spores; spores producing upon 

 germination a promycelium upon which sporidioles are borne.

I. Sori without a fungal involucre 



1. Sporidioles typically pleurogenous on the promycelium 



a. Spores arising from a compact subgelatinous stroma 



Cintractia 7: 480 



b. Spores not arising from a compact subgelatinous stroma 



Ustilago 7: 451 



(incl. Anthracoidea 14:420) 



2. Sporidioles many, acrogenous, crowning the promycelium 



a. Sori powdery at maturity 



(i) Sporidioles many, in a capitulum Neovossia 16:375 

 (2) Sporidioles not in a capitulum Tilletia 7:481 



b. Sori not powdery at maturity 



(i) Spores catenate, then separating Sirentyloma 14:425 



(2) Spores not catenate 



(a) Spores rostrate Rhamphospora 9:287 



(b) Spores not rostrate 

 X. In stems and leaves 



(x) Sori pustulate, pale or rust-brown
