These plants are often saprophytic at first, becoming parasitic later. Storage organs. Most fungi use the food materials which have been absorbed from their various sources, for the immedi- ate production of fruiting bodies. Consequently the fungus con- sists almost entirely of these two regions, the absorptive myce-. Fic- 4.—Storage organ of a cup fungus (Sclerotinia) with fruiting bodies (stalked cups) which have grown from the storage organs. Original. Hum and the reproductive organs. Some fungi, however, have learned to store food for future use and are thus able to collect considerable material, before attempting the formation of spore-bearing organs. The ergot of rye is such a storage or- gan, formed by a fungus parasitic on the rye. The fungus ap- propriates the nutrient material of the young grain and builds up a solid elongated or roundish body which, when mature, be- comes dark violet colored or blackish. This body is composed of parallel threads of the fungus tightly compacted together and.
