FUNGI 



White Mould (Mucor). 



A. Mount a small piece of young Mucor (grown on gelatine) in water. Sketch a portion of a young hypha, 

 shewing the cell-wall and the protoplasm containing numerous vacuoles, which are smaller towards the growing 

 tip of the hypha. 



B. An older mycelium of Mucor growing in gelatine. Place the watch-glass containing the gelatine and 

 the fungus on the stage of the microscope, and examine under a low power, noting sporangia. 



C. Draw young sporangia, some shewing spores, and some in an earlier stage of development, seen under 

 high power. 



D. Examine the still older Mucor growing on bread and sketch a sporangium which has burst, shewing 

 (a) the columella, to which some spores may be found adhering, (b) the collar or remains of the sporangium wall 

 at the base of the columella. 



E. Examine the slide shewing conjugating hyphae and developing zygotes.
