Among the com- moner saprophytic fungi are the molds {e.g. Penicillium and Mucor, fig. 1078), the yeasts (figs. 168-173), a-^d "^ost fleshy fungi (figs. 197-198). Saprophytic fungi and bacteria occur wherever there is dead organic matter, particularly in humus, the processes of decay being associated with these organisms. The vegetative body of fungi, the mycelium, is composed of delicate threads, the hyphae (fig. 1078), which penetrate the

Often by a change in the atmos- pheric conditions a large number of sacs burst at once and clouds of spores can be seen to ascend from the cup. The truf- fles have underground closed fruiting bodies which are related to the cups but never open except by decay of the w^alls. The morels and their allies have cups which are turned inside out, as it were, and are furthermore usually much wrinkled, and borne on stalks.

Such a food material is beyond the reach of bacterial action, and, unless these grains become subsequently soaked with water, they are protected from decay (Fig. 62). Bacteria grow in them readily enough in the spring when they are moistened and begin to sprout. This drying of the grains protects all kinds of flours and meals made from them.

The conditions that favor it are excess of moisture in both soil and air, higher temperature than necessary for normal plant de- velopment, and poor light. The weak plants that develop under these conditions succumb to tiny fungi which live upon decaying vegetable matter in the soil, and which.

Decay is simply the process by which fungi and other organisms break down dead material, so that the major part of it returns to the air in gaseous form, and the remainder, now mostly humus, mingles with the soil. As a table delicacy, mushrooms are highly prized. A very large num- ber of species are edible.
