Mucor lycogalus. Hist. 133.

Gelly Mould.

This Mucor is placed by Bulliard
among his Reticulariae, He calls it
R. lycoperdon, and has given two figures,
see Tab 446 f. 4 and 476 f. 1.  The plants
from which my figure was taken grew
on an old beam of Wood over the Boiler
in a BrueHouse in this Town, and I
have since seen much larger specimens
on an old rotton Tree Root in a moist
wood, in decay it neither withers nor
dissolves but is entirely dispersed in dust.
