Past Its Best

Pieces of bread I left in a sealed polythene bag for a few days. The trapped moisture and lack of air circulation created an ideal environment for mold spores to thrive.

This mold is rhizopus stolonifer. It is also known as pinhead mold. It is one of the most common types of mold and is a fast growing fungus that appears in white, then gray, and eventually black as it matures and releases spores.

HMM!
