Excerpt from The Floral World and Garden Guide, Vol. 2: January, 1859 The botany of this subject is well worth the study of those who take an interest in the growth and forms of cryptogamic vegetation; and recent inquiries and experiments by scientific men, have resulted in pretty clearly unfolding the physiological principles on which this undergrowth of mycelium proceeds. Whether the gardener may or may not choose to explore this department of natural history into its most delicate and beautiful of microscopic details, he cannot ignore the fact that dead wood is often the originator of a plague which will surely destroy the best of his trees and shrubs, and so poison the soil that nothing will thrive in it.
