History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
2455. Leocarpus. A word with the same meaning as Leangium ; which see. L. vernicosus appears as if 
varnished over with vermilion. The plants grow in clusters upon bits of rotten wood, and are each formed of 
a pear-shaped stalked peridium, bursting at the end, and letting fall out a nucleus of sporules held together by 
fibres. 
2456. Lycogala. From Xvxo;, a wolf, and yciXa,, milk, a genus of fungi whose internal appearance and sub- 
stance in an early state are like a mass of thick cream. It is included under Mucor by Linnagus, Schreber, and 
others. L. argenteum is found upon rotten wood in the autumn. It is about an inch or more in diameter, 
brown and pulpy when young, of a brilliant white when arrived at maturity, discharging, by one or more 
irregular accidental openings, a mass of rich dark snuff-colored powder. 
2457. Spumaria. From spuma, froth. S. mucilago is spread in the autumn over the leaves and stems (if 
living plants, or over dead branches, when it resembles in some measure stiffened foam or froth. 
2458. Dichosporium. From Itxoi; double, and o-rogos, a seed ; in allusion, we presume, to the double coat of 
he peridium, the innermost of which is formed of granules like sporules. The only species known is found 
upon the bark of the oak. 
2459. Licea. The meaning of this word is unexplained. The species have been referred to Trichia, Didy-
