Note K — II.
Reading edition
An attempt was made to show that, in Agaricus melleus, distinct asci were found, in a certain stage, on the gills or lamellæ. We have in vain examined the gills in various conditions, and could never detect anything of the kind. It is probable that the asci belonged to some species of Hypomyces, a genus of parasitic Sphæriaceous fungi.
