It is douhtful, however, whether any species are entirely parasitic, and so far as parasitism oc- curs it appears to be confined to narrow limits; none, so far as known, are parasitic upon higher plants. 265. The reproduction of Black Moulds is asexual and sexual. In the asexual reproduction the mycelium sends up erect hyphse (Fig. 57), which produce few or many sepa- rable reproductive cells—the spores.
