El cuernecillo es debido á un hongo que se sustituye al grano en la espiga. Es un cuerpo negro, encorvado; contiene un principio venenoso que es la ergotinina, de uso precioso en la terapéutica. Cuando se come pan de centeno ergotado se padece una enfermedad grave llamada ergotismo. 1, record 1, Spanish, - ergotado
