Hollos is hardly accessible enough. 
The Gasteromycetes are divided into five orders as follows: 
I. Phallinales. 
II. Hymenogastrinales . 
III. Ly coper dinales. 
IV. Plectobasidinales . 
V. Nidulariinales. 
Representatives of these orders, all of which occur in Michigan, will be 
arranged under their respective families. 
I. 
Phallinales. (The Stink-horns.) 
The spores are borne in a special structure, the gleba, which deliquesces 
to a soft slimy mass, and is elevated at maturity by the elongation of the 
soft, fleshy and several-layered, much-differentiated fruit-body. Usually 
foetid. There are two families. Only one is found in our flora. 
Phallaceae. 
M utinus. 
1. Mutinus elegans. (In sense of Lloyd.) 
Other names: 
Mutinus Curtisii (Berk.) E. Fischer. 
Mutinus bovinus Morg. 
Mutinus caninus (Huds.) Fr. Said to occur only in Europe and E. N.
