 A fungus is developed on a single spot of ground — sheds its seed, and dies ; — on the spot where it grew it leaves a valuable manuring of phosphoric acid and alkalies — some magnesia and a little sulphate of lime. Another fungus might undoubtedly...  Journal of the Chemical Society - Page 208by Chemical Society (Great Britain) - 1883Full view - About this book
