On trees in spring.
Forming a broad tremelloid mass, wet with the overflowing sap, composed
of slightly branched decumbent filaments, some of which are closely septate,
others contain a series of globose nuclei, while others are quite simple ;
spores 3-5 septate, elongated, curved, acute a t either end, the contents of the
articulations orange. In age the septa are absorbed, and there is a row of
irregular nuclei.—AT. J. B.

Of a delicate rose-red, forming thin floccose patches ; fertile threads short;
spores curved, elongated, slightly obtuse, 3-6 septate, often slightly projecting

On onions. Summer. King’s Cliffe.
Spores forming about the third of a circle, originating in little dot-like
spots, with radiating flocci, crowned with a gelatinous greyish mass ; these
at length unite, and the whole of the centre is occupied by the spores, the
border still increasing and quite fleecy, if meeting with any impediment j at
length the whole is green-black, and the border obliterated. One cause of
the mildew of onions.—M.J. B.
