Hymenomycetes: (Jelly Fungi,
Mushrooms etc., Polypores etc., Puffballs etc.); doliopore septum;
septal pore cap usually present; glucose, mannose, xylose; basidia
variable but not (Figure 16-7 F); basidiocarp present; SPB biglobular
(8, top right).
Jelly fungi (gelatinous basidiocarps)
- Tremellales: saprobic organisms with a metabasidium
divided longitudinally into 4 cells (491)
Tremella spores are attached to an epibasidium
- Auriculariales: saprobic organisms with a metabasidium
divided transversely into 4 cells

- spores are attached to an epibasidium

- Exidia, Tremiscus, and Pseudhydnum all
have the same kinds of basidium as Tremella.
