A NEW GENUS OF FUNGI. 
A. P. MORGAN. 
The following unique genus and species I have discovered 
in my range the present autumn. It necessitates an additional 
section, hyalodictyae in the Tuberculariaceae of Saccardo’s 
Sylloge Fungorum. 
Sporocystis condita Morgan gen. & sp. nov. — Stroma 
large, subglobose, fleshy, white, with a mycelium of slender white 
filaments; the spores a dense superficial layer. The pellucid 
hyphae compacted into a soft parenchymatous tissue, rich in fatty 
globules; the spores borne on the more or less distinct extremities. 
Spores sub-globose, white, 50-70 mic. in diameter, each composed 
of many small spherical cells, 9-11 mic. in diameter. 
Growing on old leaves in woods; Preston, Ohio, October 
1902. The stromata usually scattered, 1-2 mm. in diameter, occa¬ 
sionally two or three confluent. The dry spore shows best the 
cells of which it is composed. The stroma, mycelium and spores 
all abound in oil-globules as in the Entomophthoraceae; these are 
best exhibited in a drop of water.
