Death either occurs rapidly, due possibly to the production of complex toxic metabolites, or more slowly, due to hyphal proliferation and disruption of organs.

These conidiospores sometimes at once develop hyphæ, and sometimes, as in the case of the potato fungus, they turn out their contents as a swarm-spore, which actively moves about and penetrates the potato leaves through the stomata before they come to rest and elongate into the hyphal form.
