Description of Plate CLIX 
Fig. I. Sporophores of Cryptoporus volvatus (Peck) Shear. The two 
smallest ones show the resinous coating completely covering the surface. 
The ostiole of the volva has not appeared in this stage. Others show the res- 
inous coat partially cracked from the surface exposing the white fungal tissue. 
Dead fundamental tissue is left adhering to the margin of the ostioles. 
Fig. 2. Stages in the development of the sporophores, showing the 
enlargement of the pore-cavity, the gradual formation of the hymenophore 
and the ostioles of the volva.
