Mucor aggregatus. not in Hist.
Aggregate Mould.

This Mucor I found on the rotten
stalks of common Ragwort in Sepr. [September] 1787.
Tis at first of a common grey mould
colour, after a day or two it changes
to a dusky brown and remains for some
time like a dry Dawn.

Magnified it appears to consist of a
fine pellucid filament bearing globular
head consisting of a number of divided and
subdivided branches each carrying a small
globe on its summit wherein an oblong
seed is contained.

Halifax, Monday, October ye 29, 1787.
