Ohio Fungi. Fascicle III 
5 
ous branches ascending, short, simple or with a few slender divis¬ 
ions at the apex, producing an elongated subfusiform glomerule 
of spores. Spores cylindric-fusiform, straight, hyaline, 18-25 
x 1 mic. 
Growing on the inner side of old bark of Acer. Sporiferous 
branches 40-60 mic. long, the glomerule clinging to the upper half 
usually leaving the apex naked; sometimes two or three or several 
adjacent glomerules are confluent. There are usually from five or 
six to a dozen spores in a glomerule. 
2. Acontium minus Morgan sp. nov.—Hyphasma effused, 
very thin, white. Hyphae creeping, slender, hyaline, septate 
branched; the sporiferous branches simple, tapering upward, 
ascending or erect, producing at the apex a glomerule of spores. 
Glomerules small, globose or obovoid, white, pellucid; spores 
cylindric, smooth, hyaline, obtuse at each end, 5-9 x 2 mic. 
Growing on old pod of Gleditsia. The sporophores variable, 
tapering to a point, 20-60 mic. in length and not thicker than 
the spores. 
3. Acontium velatum Morgan sp. nov. — Hyphasma 
effused, thin, dense, flocculose, white. Hyphse long prostrate, in¬ 
tricately much branched, hyaline, septate; the spores conglutinate 
in subglobose or irregular glomerules and borne at the apex of 
slender branchlets. Spores variable in form and size, elliptic- 
oblong, subclavate and subcylindric, hyaline, smooth, 8-12x2. 
5-3.5 mic. _ 
Growing on the cut surface of a black walnut stump appar¬ 
ently feeding upon the sap in which were spores of Pionnotes. 
Glomerules 15-25 mic. in diameter, in places much confluent, 
large and irregular.
