(ii) Glossary of technical terms
_Specialised colours are placed in capitals_
_Adnate_ (of the gills or tubes), broadly attached to the stem at
least for one quarter of their length. See p. 267.
_Adnexed_ (of the gills or tubes), narrowly attached to the stem by
less than one quarter of their length. See p. 267.
_Amygdaliform_ (of the spore), almond-shaped.
_Amyloid_ (of the spore-walls, spore-ornamentation or hyphal walls),
greyish or bluish or blackish violet in solutions containing iodine.
_Apiculus_ (of the spore), the short peg-like structure at the basal
end of the spore by which it is attached to the basidium. See Fig. 5,
p. 15.
_Arcuate-decurrent_ (of the gills or tubes), curved and extending down
the stem. See p. 267.
_Ascus_, a clavate to cylindrical or subglobose cell in which the
(asco-) spores are borne, usually in eights.
_Basidium_, a clavate or subcylindrical cell on which the (basidio-)
spores are borne, externally on stalks. See Fig. 5, p. 15.
_Cap_ (of the fruit-body), that structure which bears the
spore-bearing layers beneath it (= pileus).
_Caespitose_ (of the fruit-body), aggregated into tufts.
_CINNAMON-BROWN_, the colour of cinnamon powder obtainable from the
grocer.
_Clavate_ (of the stem, or cystidia), club-shaped.
_Convex_ (of the cap), curving outwards. See Plate 9, p. 55.
_Cortex_ (of the cap or stem), outer layers of the tissue.
_Cortina_, a cobweb-like veil at first connecting the margin of the
cap and stem, but at maturity often only present as remnants on the
stem and/or cap-margin. See p. 267.
_Cystidium_, a differentiated terminal cell usually on the surface and
edges of the cap, gill and stem: facial cystidia occurring on the
gill-face: marginal cystidia occurring on the gill-margin. See Fig. 4,
p. 15.
_DATE-BROWN_, the colour of packed dates.
_Decurrent_ (of the gills and tubes), with a part attached to and
descending down the stem. See p. 267.
_Deliquescent_ (of the gills, cap or entire fruit-body), changing into
a liquid at maturity.
_Depauperate_ poorly developed.
_Depressed_ (of the cap), having the central portion sunken, and (of
the tubes) sunken about the apex of the stem. See Plate 1, p. 29.
_Dentate_ see toothed.
_Distant_ (of the gills), greater than their own thickness apart.
