The capillitium ( coarse, thick-walled cells in the gleba ) threads are unbranched, and measure about 3 ?m thick.
12.
The capillitium becomes segmented through white to yellowish, partly perforated limestone plates, which are overgrown on the edge of the peridium.
13.
A capillitium is less developed and is composed of pale purple-brown, slim, vermiculated strands, which are overgrown on the peridia.
14.
The capillitium is composed of a few rotund chalk knots, which are linked through transparent to yellowish strings with acanthoid, non-overgrown humps.
15.
The capillitium refers to coarse, late-maturing, thick-walled cells in the gleba that develop pores or slits in their thick secondary walls.
16.
The capillitium is often irregular, usually due to the presence of several yellow-brown, translucent spirally banded strands, which divide towards the outer end.
17.
The reticular, dense capillitium is composed of transparent strands, which connect the small, rotund to angular, light yellow to medium brown, occasionally whitish-coloured lime tubercles.
18.
In " Bovista ", the capillitium ( a network of thread-like cells in which the spores are embedded ) is not connected directly to the interior wall of the peridium.
19.
Further divisions into sections and series is based on the capillitium type, the absence or presence of pores in the capillitia, and the presence or absence of a subgleba ( a sterile base ).
20.
According to the American botanist Andrew P . Morgan, however, the species differed from those of " Geastrum " in not having open chambers in the young gleba, having larger and branched capillitium threads, not having a true hymenium, and having larger spores.
