THELEPHORACEiE Pers. 

 This family contains plants similar in appearance to other 

 families described, but they are generally distinguished by a 

 perfectly plane fruiting-surface. In some few genera, how- 

 ever, this surface may be radiately wrinkled, or velvety from 

 minutely projecting cystidia. The reproductive spores are 

 borne as in other families.
