Gr<s>a</s>ey Mould.

This mould is most frequen<s>d</s>t
in Houses, growing on rotten Fruits &c.
It abounds at Present upon agaricks
of several species that now are in a perishing
state in the Room where I am

pellucid filament bearing a globular
head which bursts like a puffball and discharges
a dusty seed.
