TRICHOGASTRES

1. LYCOPERDEI, with effused capillitium, adnate peridium, and discrete spores. - Center.
2. GEASTER. Peridium double; exterior is discrete, persistent, splitting into expanded stellate star-shaped rays.
3. BOVISTA. Peridium papery, with a discrete cortex that separates, entirely fertile within. Capillitium is uniform.
4. LYCOPERDON. Peridium membranous, with an adnate, subpersistent cortex, having a sterile, tinder-like base within. Capillitium is unequal.
5. TULOSTOMA. Peridium papery, with a separating cortex, distinct from the stipe! Capillitium is unequal.

II. SCLERODERMEI, with a cellular capillitium, and spores that are conglomerate. Peridium is hardened. Transition to Tuberacei.

6. SCLERODERMA. Peridium with an innate cortex, cellular within. Spore glomerules are minute and naked.
7. POLYSACCUM. Common peridium, naked and cellular within. Spore glomerules surrounded by deformed peridiola.
8. HYPERRHIZA. Peridium naked, within having twisted vessels filled with spores.
9. ELAPHOMYCES. Peridium with a warty cortex, not splitting spontaneously, divided into cells by veins within.

III. PODAXIDEI, with loose capillitium, adnate to a central columella small column. Radius to the Trichodermacei.

10. CAULOGLOSSUM. Peridium contiguous with the stipe, splitting lacerately at the sides. Columella is floccose woolly.
11. PODAXON. Peridium discrete, splitting at the base. Stylidium finally denuded.
