Monilia, a common species of mold causing fruit decay. at the start at least, is the growth of molds. In later stages of the decay bacteria may be concerned, but it is always molds that begin the process. There are a num- ber of species of molds intimately associated with the decay of fruits. The common blue mold (Fig. 7) is one of the most widely distributed, but there are several others (Figs. 2'2, 23, 24). Method of Infection and Distribution To understand the decay of fruit we must first bear in mind that mold spores are constantly floating in the air, and that they may also be carried easily upon the feet of insects that chance to light upon a bit of spore-bearing mold. By some such agency mold spores are quite sure.
