The plant consists of whitish, jointed filaments which grow on or in the ground, drawing their nourishment from decaying sticks, roots, etc. 336. But little is known as to the asexual reproduction, hut in some spe- cies conidia much like those in the pre- ceding orders have been observed. 337. The sexual organs are pro- "^P^i^^k duced by the swelling up of the ••i'.'^sg' ^«»^.«awa ends of certain of the white filaments of the plant into globular or ovoid . cells, the carpogones, each having a projection (trichogyne). From be- low each carpogone a slender branch grows out, and becomes the antherid (Eig. 86). 338. Fertilization takes place by the antherids coming in contact with the trichogyne. As a result, numerous branches start out from below the carpogone, and growing upward form a dense felted mass which gradually takes on FiQ. 85.—A filament of Blue Mould (Penicillium chartarum), bearing co- nidia.
