MILDEW (0. Eng. meledeaw or mildeaw, explained as " meal-dew," cf. Ger. Me/zit/tau, with more probability, as " honey-dew," Goth. melith, honey, cf. Lat. mel, Gr. EX) , a popular name given to various minute fungi from their
appearance
 , and from the sudden, dew-like manner of their occurrence. Like many other popular names of
plants
 , it is used to denote different species which possess very small botanical affinity. The
term
  is applied, not only to species belonging to various systematic groups, but also to such as follow' different modes of
life
 . The corn-
mildew
 , the hop-
mildew
  and the vine-mildew are, for example, parasitic upon living
plants
 , and the mildews of
damp
  linen and of
paper
  are saprophytes (Gr. o-airpos, rotten), that is, they subsist on matter which is already dead. As regards mil-dews in general, the conditions of
life
  and growth are mainly suitable nutrition and dampness accompanied by a high temperature. The life history of the same species of mildew frequently covers two or more generations, and these are often passed on hosts of different kinds. In some cases again the same
generation
  confines its attack to the same
kind
  of host, while in others the same
generation
  grows on various hosts (see FUNGI; Hop; and WHEAT).
