Not illustrated. 1889 edition. Excerpt: ...(Ray Society); Carpenter's " Introduction to the Study of Foraminifera," Fungi.--Micro-fungi may be found everywhere, and make a splendid study. Many of them, however, can only be examined successfully when in the fresh state, such as Penicillium crustaceum and Aspergillus glaucus, the common moulds and mildews of our houses. Nearly every plant and tree is attacked at one time or another by some particular species of micro-fungus, so that the student will find plenty ot work in this class alone. We have the Puccinia graminis upon the leaves and stems of standing corn, as well as Tilletia caries and Ustilago segetum,or smut, which fill up and destroy the whole contents of the ear; the Ecidium on the berberry bush; Triphragmium on the leaves of the meadow-sweet; the blackberry brand, Aregma bulbosum; Coleosporium synantherarum on the colt's-foot; Cystopus candidtis, on cabbages; Peronospora infestans on our potatoes; Peronospora gangliformis on lettuces; and Peronospora vicioz on peas: a host of others being within easy reach. The micro-fungi, shown in Fig. 168, are as follow:--a. Stachybotryt loMata. b. S. atra. c. Penicillium sitophUum (Oidium aurantiacum). d. Myxotrickum deftexum, e. Polyactit fatticularis../-. Sporocybe alter'mta (Aspergillus alternatut). g. Ithopalomyces paUidut. h. Papulasjmra sepedonioides. '. Acremonium alternatum. Fig. 168. They have all been found upon moist cotton goods or in analogous situations. All that is necessary in collecting micro-fungi is to well isolate each specimen, preferably by wrapping in soft paper, and placing separately in a small box.
