| 21. | The stipe cuticle is made of clusters of cystidia similar to those found in the hymenium.
|
| 22. | The hyphae of the subhymenium ( a layer of tissue directly under the hymenium ) are interwoven.
|
| 23. | It has a bright yellow outer surface, but the hymenium becomes develops greenish tints in age.
|
| 24. | The third layer is the fertile, spore-bearing surface, the brownish-black hymenium.
|
| 25. | The excipulum is the cup shaped tissue that holds the hymenium, asci, in the apothecium.
|
| 26. | This feature becomes less visually prominent as the hymenium matures and neighboring basidia expand and become crowded.
|
| 27. | The hymenium ( fertile, spore-bearing surface ) is 6 10 spores are cream coloured.
|
| 28. | Pseudocystidia ( sterile structures arising deep in the subhymenium and protruding into the hymenium ) are rare.
|
| 29. | The white, porous hymenium has a thickness of 1 2 mm and turns brown when bruised.
|
| 30. | The position of the hymenium is traditionally the first characteristic used in the classification and identification of mushrooms.
