FIGURE 1. Features of Cavenderia fulva (Krug 6–5A). A. Radiate irregular streamed "violaceum" type of aggregation, streams are forked, B. Four habits of early to late sorogens: coremiform in an old culture (left), clustered dichotomous (center), solitary curved elongated (right), a migrating sorogen with stalk formation that leaves behind a net or framework of sheath fibers as it advances (below), C. Tight cluster of late branched sorogens, a solitary creeping sorogen on the left, D. Solitary unbranched sorocarp, the sorus has regrown, the base is covered by abundant mucilage and a typical reticulate or net-like sheath, E. Tight cluster of unbranched to branched sorocarps, large branches tend to achieve the level of the main axis, the bases are tightly united, with clear and dark areas, and fibers in net are attached to marginal undifferentiated cells, on the right a decumbent collapsed sorocarp with immediate regrowth; sorophores are irregular, curved, sometimes broken (in all cases), F. Four bases: multicellular, with protruding cells, the sheath is cone-like, within the mucilage there are undifferentiated cells (above, left); base with a large curved clavate terminal cell, the sheath is represented as a net of fibers (above, right); one to two celled base resting on and in touch with a large globoid cellular mass, the mucilage is dense and dark below the base (below, left); one-celled round to clavate base with its enlarged terminal cell (below, right), G. Two tips: simple, with a broad subtip (left) and a capitate tip with flexuous cells (right), both with dense sticky mucilage, H. Elliptical slightly broad spores with conspicuous consolidated polar granules, sometimes with halos. Bars: A–C = 100 μm, D–E = 200 μm, F–G = 25 μm, H = 5 μm.
