BOTRYTIS

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 306 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BOTRYTIS , a minute fungus which appears as a brownish-grey mould on decaying vegetation or on damaged fruits. Under a hand-lens it is seen to consist of tiny, upright, brown stalks which are branched at the tips, each branchlet being crowned with a naked head of
pale
 -coloured spores. It is a very common fungus, growing everywhere in the open or in greenhouses, and can be found at almost any season. It has also a bad
record
  as a plant disease. If it once gains entrance into one of the higher
plants
 , it spreads rapidly, killing the tissues and reducing them to a rotten
condition
 . Seedling pines, lilies and many other cultivated
plants
  are subject to attack by Botrytis. Some of the species exist in two other growth-forms, so different in
appearance
  from the Botrytis that they have been regarded as distinct plants:a sclerotium, which is a hard compact
mass
  of fungal filaments, or mycelium, that can retain its vitality for a
considerable time in a resting
condition
 ; and a stalked Peziza, I in 1856. In 1861 and 1862 he conducted at
Palermo
 , supervising or cup-fungus, which grows out of the sclerotium. The latter the production of his opera Marion Delorme in 1862, and in 1863 is the perfect form of fruit. The Botrytis mould is known as
the conidial form
