The most important members of these groups are the under-mentioned : Mucor mucedo.—This is the commonest mould, and is frequently seen growing upon food-stuffs, particularly stale moist bread and upon animal excreta. It possesses a branching mycelium with hyphse bearing the swollen sporangia, or spore-bearers. This mould grows well on an acid medium, forming a white fur, and bears black fructifi- cation heads. It is not pathogenic. Mucor rhizopodiformis forms a similar growth to the above. A culture on bread gives rise to an aromatic odour. Mucor corymbifer forms a dense white fur on bread, re- sembling cotton-wool. Mucor ramosus grows upon bread and potato as a white fur which soon changes to Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Pearmain, Thomas Hames; Moor, Cresacre George.
