“...after my first feeling of revulsion had passed, I spent three of the most entertaining and instructive weeks of my life studying the fascinating molds which appeared one by one on the slowly disintegrating mass of horse-dung. Microscopic molds are both very beautiful and absorbingly interesting. The rapid growth of their spores, the way they live on each other, the manner in which the different forms come and go, is so amazing and varied that I believe a man could spend his life and not exhaust the forms or problems contained in one plate of manure.” MenWayFirstsBelieveDifferentFeelingsProblemBeautifulFormThreeI BelieveGrowthInterestingStudyWeekHe ManMassHorseFascinatingBiologyEntertainingPlatesRapidsComes And GoesMoldVery BeautifulManureRevulsionRapid Growth Author:David Fairchild
