Description: Article with photographs by Mike Morgan on these semi-microscopic organisms which appear on fruits and other foofstuffs, mostly being species of Aspergillus and Penicillium.
The term "mould" is a common name having no taxonomic significance. It is applied to a variety of fungi which grow as semi-microscopic organisms, and whose mycelium tends to form a loose meshwork rather than a dense tissue. Thus the moulds are distinguished from the large fleshy fungi, the mushrooms etc. Moulds may belong to any of the classes of Fungi, but actually the great majority of species are either Phycomycetes or Fungi Imperfecti (form-class Deuteromycetes).
