ORDER XXIX. ANTENNARIEI. 



Genus CCCXX., Antennaria Lk. Threads felted, black, articu- 

 lated, often moniliform. Walls of sporangia mostly cellular. 

 Spores chained together, immersed in gelatinous pulp. 



Genus CCCXXL, Zasnidium Fr. Sporangium thin, carbonaceous, 

 but brittle, growing on a septate, byssoid, equal mycelium. Mouth 

 subumbilicate. Spores simple. 



ORDER XXX. MUCORINI. 



Genus CCCXXIL, Ascophora Tocle. Sporangia collapsing, and 

 at length hanging down over the fructifying apices like a hood. 

 Fruit sometimes of two kinds. 



Ascophora mucedo Tode, on bread. 



Genus CCCXXIIL, Ifucor Mich. Threads free. Sporangia at 

 length bursting, but not dependent.

— fusiger Lk., on decaying agarics, ditto. 



amethysteus B., on rotten pears, Rudlow. 



Genus CCCXXIV., Hydrophora Tode. Threads erect, tubular, 

 sparingly articulate, equal above, terminated by a vesicle, which is 

 at first watery and crystalline, then turbid, and at length indurated 

 and persistent from the conglomeration of the spores. 



Genus CCCXXV., Endodromia B. Yesicle very delicate, perfor- 

 ated by the stem, filled with delicate, branched, radiating threads, 

 and globose spores, with a nucleus endowed with active motion. 



Genus CCCXXVL, Sporodinia Lk. Stem dichotomously branched. 

 "Vesicles solitary, terminal, at length splitting horizontally. Col- 

 umella large. Spores simple, growing on the columella. 



Genus CCCXXVIL, Acrostalagmus Cd. Flocci branched. 

 Branches verticillate. Yesicles terminal, pierced by the threads, 

 from the tips of which the spores are produced within the cells. 



Genus CCOXXVIIL, Stjzygites Ehb. Threads branched above. 

 Vesicles of separate branches conjugating, and forming a distinct 

 sporangium. 



Genus CCCXXIX., Endogone Lk. Hypogoeous. Flocci collected
