31. The hymenium covers the sides of the basidiocarps, each basidium producing and forcibly discharging only two basidiospores. 32. Chrysocystidium are present on the hymenium , on the sterile surfaces of young specimens, and as endocystidia. 33. The smooth inner surface of the chamber comprises the fertile spore-bearing tissue ( the hymenium ). 34. There are some cystidia scattered in the hymenium , and they measure 20 33 by 3 5 ?m. 35. A cup fungus, its distinctive feature is a very thin spider-web membrane that covers the hymenium . 36. The hymenium is formed in the roof of this furrow, growing inward and upward from the outside edge. 37. The specific name " lateritius " means " bricklike ", and refers to the smooth hymenium . 38. The tubes and pores of the hymenium are initially white, darkening with age to pale yellow and finally brown. 39. The spore-bearing hymenium , the outermost layer of cells, contains asci interspersed with sterile cells called paraphyses. 40. They are arranged as a palisade of cells forming a hymenium that covers the inner surfaces of the internal folds.
