Abstract

The aethalium of Lycogala terrestre is initially a simple blob from which papillae
are temporarily extruded whilst partitions of cortical material running into it split to form the
airfilled pseudocapillitium. Mitochondria aligned alongside these partitions appear
responsible for the pumping of water out of them, resulting in this splitting
