Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Morphology and Life History of the Chestnut Blight Fungus
On active young cankers during the spring, summer and autumn, slender, curling, yellow tendrils are especially abundant shortly after rain periods. If one'of these spore-horns is put in water, it swells up and then apparently dissolves, but if a drop of this water is placed under the microscope, it will be found to contain millions of minute, hyaline bodies - the pycnospores.
