Botrytis (Fig. .589), the fruit- ing stalk of which branches, and each branch is tipped with a spore, is one of the many moulds which live and feed upon the juices of other plants or of animals, and are often very destructive. The extremely nume- rous kinds of smut, rust, mildew, the ferments, bacteria, and the like, many of them very destructive to other vegetable and to animal life, are also low forms of the class of Fungi.^ Fig. 587. Ascophora, the Bread-Mould. 588. Aspergillus glaucus, the mould of cheese, but common on mouldy vegetables. 589. A species of Botrytis. All magnified. 1 The 'Introduction to Cryptogamous Botany,' or third volume of 'The Botan- ical Text Book,' now in preparation by the author's colleagixe, Professor Farlow, will be the proper guide in the study of the Flowerless Plants, especially oi tlie Algae and Fungi.
