durch das Wasser, eine «Mondenlebendigkeit» erzeugen. This moon-vitality works, under balanced weather conditions, upward through the plants as far as seed formation. But when the moon works too strongly — in a mild winter with wetness persisting into spring, further intensified by the supply of readily soluble nutrient salts — the fungal pressure rises. The excess moon-life enters, as it were, into competition with the forces that stream upward into the plants from the cosmos through silica, lime, and clay in a form-building manner. These are weakened. A kind of premature fructification arises in the vegetative realm, in the zone of the leaf. Above the level of the soil — within whose interior lies the true home of the host of bacteria and fungi — a second soil-level for parasites and fungi forms up in the shoot zone. Under the too-powerful moon forces, the plant falls prey to breakdown by precisely that same realm of lower organisms that renders it useful services in the darkness of the soil.
