Mold - End of Days

The mold remained unchanged for the last few weeks so this the final mold post - I have opened the jar (scary) and cut into the substrate and taken some last photos.

Ex-bread:
Ex-Apple

Close up on the bread mold.

Mold Science - The Red Revolution

Nothing I read about mold growing quite prepared me for the bits of bright red I discovered this morning:

Mold Science - The Wasted Land

This is what is left of the apple...

Mold Science - Liquid Apple

Here a difficult close-up shows how our mold colony is rapidly destroying the structure of the apple; a strange gloopy liquid is bubbling to the surface.

Mold Science - Conurbation

Some long fibers have formed on my bread and the structure of the original slice is slowly bending.

Mold Science - Apple Towers

Not much happening on the mold front - here you can see the skin of the apple forming weird bulbous towerish structures.

Mold Science - Plateau

It seems my mold has hit a smooth plateau stage; entire bread covered with a smooth greeny carpet.

Mold Science - Apple Islands

Meanwhile nearby on the apple ... some colonies appear

Mold Science - Complete Expansion

14 days later and our bread is completely conquered with some Hyphae extending several milimeters away from the surface.


Almost all of the surface covered in deep colour...

Mold Science - City States

Mold Science - Diaspora

In this overhead you see our nation rapidly colonising the rest of the bread and even the apple is getting some fuzzy action.

Mold Science - Birth of a Nation

After a couple of days of inaction; today I spied colonization on the bread...

Mold Science - Start

Mold science is my new project; here a sealed jar containing some wet bread and a bit of apple - theory goes that the millions of invisible mold spores in this photograph will start growing if I keep it warm and dark. Futher posts might confirm this rather bizaare 'invisible-eggs -in-the-air' theory.
