A Curious Fungus.

The department of agriculture at
Washington has received from Consul
Jones, located at Chin Kiang, China, a
small bottle containing specimens of a
curious fungus that actually grows from
q species of caterpillar. Unlikely as it
may seem, this fungus literally trans
forms the caterpillar into vegetable,
making the unhappy insect serve the
purpose of a root. The caterpillar itself
is the larva of moth peculiar to China
and Japan. When the cold of winter
approaches, this moth bores a hole in
the ground to depth of three to seven
inches and curls himself up to wait for
spring.
While taking his winter sleep he is
often attacked by remarka bic disease.
which causes him to send forth shoots
like sprouting vegetable. These shoots
appear and fructify above the ground
like any other species of mushroom.
This remarkable animal vegetable has
no other means of growth than the curl
Gus one above described. Louis Re-
