ERGOT. A fungus (Claviceps purpurea) attacking the 

 fruits of various grasses, especially rye grass. It forms 

 hard masses of filaments, that project in curved, finger- 

 like masses from the seeds, which are destroyed. The 

 hard masses are known as sclerotia, and from them other 

 bodies like drum-sticks arise, with numerous cavities 

 containing linear spores, by which the fungus repro- 

 duces itself.
