35). Family 3. Peronosporace.^.—This family is rich in parasiticforms which may be accounted as the cause of important diseases ofcultivated plants. The hyphte of the mycelia are irregularly and copi-ously branched and are found mainly in the intercellular spaces of thehost tissue sending short branches called haustoria into the adjoiningliving cells. These haustoria maybe glohvXax (Albugo = Cystopiis),club-shaped (Peronospora corydalis), branched (Plasmopara) (Fig. 36),or branched and snarled (Peronospora). Septa are absent except 1 Petersen, Henning E.: An Account of Danish Fresh-water Phycomycetes.Annales Mycologici, viii, No. 5, igio. 112 MYCOLOGY when the reproductive organs are formed. Non-sexual spores, orconidiospores, are borne on conidiophores which may remain withinthe host (Albugo = Cystopus), or grow beyond the surface. They maybe. either simple or branched. These conidiospores either germinate,as in Phytophthora infestans and Peronospora nivea by means of zoo- ^,^„^

Theoogonia and antheridia, which are also present, are formed in the OOSPORE-PRODUCING ALGAL FUNGI 113 tissues of the host. The different kinds of nuclear fusion, whichaccompany fertilization, have been described previously. The oospore,which is formed, acts as a zoosporangium in some cases for it givesrise to
