parasitic flowering plants. Look for them along the banks 

 of streams and in other moist and somewhat shaded places. 

 Besides the fungi mentioned above, we must not omit the 

 various kinds of moulds which grow on bread and other eat-

 piece of moist bread and keep the bread under a water glass. 

 Within twenty-four hours you can see the white mycelium 

 of the mould on the bread.
