Forming a thin slate-black stratum ; flocoi transparent, perfectly colourless
under the microscope, apparently not septate, very slender, effused, i r regularly
branched, often anastomosing at right angles. From the tips or
on very short lateral branches spring subglobose or oval colourless tran sparent
vesicles, with a central nucleus; these by degrees are furnished
within with obscure septa, at length they acquire when full grown a browa
hue, and are from ,5^ - 250® i“ - diameter. They are then in geneva 1
more or less globose, divided by septa into a few lobes, which are disposed
in a radiating manner, like the berries of a mulberry. A few are furnished
with a little apioular peduncle, but the greater part lose all trace of the
point of attachment.—M. J. B.
