Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Aspergillus aviarius Peck.
Fig. 9. Piece of membrane bearing a patch of the fungus. Fig. 10. A spore-bearing vesicle and its filament, the former partly denuded of its chains of spores, x 400. Fig. 11. A single chain of spores x 400. Fig. 12. A group of free spores x 400. A new fungus of special interest, because of its peculiar habitat, has also been brought to light. It is a species of mold which I have called Aspergillus aviarius. It was found inside the body of a canary bird, the death of which it apparently caused. It helps to illustrate the fact that there is scarcely a place in which or a substance on which fungi of some sort may not grow. A full description of this species has been given in another place. Very respectfully CHAS. H. PECK Albany, November 29, 1890 Aspergillus aviarius n. sp. (Plate 4, figs. 9 to 12.) Sterile hyphse creeping", white or whitish, fertile hyphse erect, simple, continuous, .0003 in. thick, terminating at the apex in a globose vesicle, which is .0008 to .0012 in. broad, with an uneven or somewhat papillose surface ; chains of spores growing directly from the surface of the vesicle, spores minute, globose, smooth, .00008 to .0001 in. broad, both these and the hyphse at first whitish, then pale blnish-green or g-laucous. On the inner costal surface of a canary bird. New York. Novem- ber. E. B. SouthwicJc, The bird from which this fung-us was taken appeared to be sick for about four days immediately preceding its death. It would try to sing:, but could not from hoarseness. It appeared to be cold, and was given a warm bath, but it died the following nig-ht. Upon cut- ting- open the body the fung-us was found. Its occurrence within the body of the bird is remarkable, and if it was the cause of its death it must be considered an injurious species. No other cause was evident. But how it could gain an entrance into the visceral cavity of the body and why it should fruit therein are mysteries. The species differs from A, virens Lk. by its more slender hypae, smaller spores, papillose vesicle and by the g-rayish-blue or glaucous color of the patches. |
