It is very similar in appearance to P. glaucirai but a Fig. 385.—PenicUlium. little greener; conidia elliptic-oblong, 7-9 x 4 ai. After Brefeld. p_ jigitatum (Fr.) Sacc. Similar to the preceding species in habit but the conidia are white in mass, 4-6 ii. Often associated with, and similar in effects to P. glaucum. P. olivaceum Weh. is found on citrous fruits; P. luteum Zuk. on apple. An undetermined species is reported as the cause of a white dry rot of sweet potatoes.''" Various other species of the genus occur on fruits and vegetables causing their decay. Gliocladium Corda (p. 572) Hyphse effused, spreading; conidiophores and conidia as in Penicillium but the conidia surrounded by a mass of mucus. A genus of only about ten species. G agaricinum C. &. M. arrests growth and breaks the pilei of mushrooms. Botrytideae (p. 566) Conidiophores elongate, simple or branched but not inflated, and the branches not verticillate; conidia borne variously, globose or ovate 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 Stevens, Frank Lincoln, 1871-1934.
