Mucor septicus Hist. 134.

Frothy Mould.

This is placed by Bulliard amongst
his Reticulariae, and has figured it in
its white state, pl. 326.  In its yellow
pl. 380 f 1.-- It has a most loathsome
and disagreeable appearance as we see
it spattered upon the plants in the damp
parts of woods.--To a man subject to my
weaknesses, a shy appetite & too delicate
feelings, it is really forbiding [forbidding].  I have
sometimes met with it at unawares, in
large pieces, roping from one rotten substance
to another, when it has so effected
me, as to leave a loathing to my food for
several Days after.
