This species of mold, even after producing its fruit, remains white; but a careful examination shows it to be covered all over with minute white balls just big enough to be seen by the naked eye, but looking very beautiful under the microscope (F"ig. 9). Each ball is a mass of scores of spores. Some molds of this last type produce brown spores in- stead of white. Of

When the color begins to appear it commonly means that the mold is producing spores. The spores are nearly always so small and light as to be blown easily by the wind, and in this way they are carried to and fro. The air in any household is almost sure to be filled with them in greater or less abundance, as can easily be proved. See experiments 6-8, pp. 3^2-273.
