mium, &c. by various writers. They are minute productions scarcely bigger than pins' heads, found chiefly on 
rotten wood of the fir kind. 
> 2460. Mucor. An alteration of /Jt-vTin?, the name of a small fungus. To this genus are referable the greater 
part of the substances which form the mould upon cheese and other materials. 
2461. Thamnidium. From a rod or twig, in allusion to the appearance of the plants under the 
microscope. Minute plants, with a bushy branched stipes, and a head like that of Mucor. 
2462. Ascophora. From aa-zo;, a term used by mycologists to denote a peculiar kind of receptacle of sporules, 
and to bear. These are pin-headed fungi, with the habit of Mucor, from which they chiefly differ in 
their peridium being turned inside out after bursting, and being somewhat persistent. 
2463. Eurotium. Eu^coi was the Greek name of a sort of mouldiness, and has been with a sufficient reason 
applied to this genus of plants. 
2464. Amphisporium. From double, and ff-ro^oe,, a sporule. These organs are of two forms, either 
roundish with three dots in the middle, or ovate acuminate, and quite pellucid. 
2465. Ceratium. So named from M^ctSt a horn, on account of the cornute appearance of the plants under
