Eurotium (uroshium)

[NL., with each containing numerous asci, which are spores. In this genus the proce of reproduction in ascomycetous fungi is easily observed. A portion of a mycelial thread a umes a spiral form and constitutes the female organ, while a branch arising at the base of the IMG:content-0799.png:[blocks in formation] A, a small portion of the mycelium with a conidiophore ( c ), terminated by the sterigmata ( st ), from which the spores have fallen, also with the spiral female organ, the ascogonium ( as ). B, the spiral ascogonium ( as ) with the antheridium). C, the same beginning to be surrounded by threads, out of which the wall of the perithecium is formed. D, a perithecium. E, F, sections of young perithecia: w, cells composing the wall; /, false parenchyma underneath the wall; as, ascogonium. G, ascus. H, an ascospore. (From Sachs's "Lehrbuch der Botanik.") spiral becomes the male organ. After fertilization these organs and some additional branches develop into the perithecium and its contents. There is also a conidial fruit, which is a gray mold. It consists of erect hyphæ, each terminated by a capitate enlargement upon which numerous sterigmata are situated; each of the latter bears a chain of spores. This was formerly considered a distinct fungus, known as Aspergillus. Eurotium with its conidial form is common mold which grows on a great Euritances, especially dead herbs and jellies or variety of substances, dead here and elle more exactly the east-southeast wind. Cf. Eu roclydon, Euraquilo.] The southeast wind. Euryale (u-ri'a-lē), n. [NL., 2. A genus of water-lilies, of India and China, with large peltate leaves and a spiny calyx.
