. Fungoid and insect pests of the farm. Agricultural pests. I] Introdtiction to Fungi a long stalk (see Fig. 2). This fungus is known as a Mucor. Other threads give rise to a greyish powder, which under the microscope is seen to consist of numerous egg-shaped bodies like bunches of grapes. These are the seeds or, as they are usually termed, the spores of the fungus known as a Botrytis (see Fig. 3). We may also find a fungus bearing light-blue spores. zr Fig. 3. Spores of Botrytis borne like bunches of grapes and some of the spores germinating. (Magnified.) borne in chains at the ends of branch

Spores of Botrytis borne like bunches of grapes and some of the spores germinating. (Magnified.) borne in chains at the ends of branches which join to form a single stalk. This fungus is a Penicillium (see Fig. 4). Spores of any of these fungi placed under suitable conditions give rise to the same kind of fungus plant or mycelium as that on which they were borne. The following is a means of studying the growth of spores. Take a Ward^s Tvhe (see Fig. 5) and fix the base of the chamber to a glass slide by means of paraffin wax; put in a small quantity of water. Take some of the spores of the Botrytis fungus on a brush and put them.
