A large, moist, soft lesion developed at the stylar end of this melon.  The fabrics are translucent and dark in color.  <i> <b> Rhizopus stolonifer </b> </i>
From the mycelium, a few sporocystophores and sporocysts of <b> <i> Rhizopus stolonifer </i> </b> begin to form on the rotten tissues of this melon.
The tissues of this melon fruit, invaded by <b> <i> Rhizopus stolonifer </i> </b>, have liquefied.
On this fruit, a dark damp rot started from the stalk wound.  A dense blackish mold partially covers it.  <i> <b> Rhizopus stolonifer </b> </i>
The bursting of this fruit allowed <i> <b> Rhizopus stolonifer </b> </i> to enter and invade it, along with other secondary colonizers.  The blackish mold of this fungus is visible in places.
