Pealed skin from a fall Squash. Layer of hyphae and mycelia is thicker on PDA plate. When viewing underside of plates PDA plate has black fungi growing while…
Both samples are leaf samples taken from two completely different bushes. The top sample came from a leaf I stole from my neighbour’s bush since it had interesting…
The top half of the plates houses a swab taken from the fabric of the lounge seat found by the front door of my house. The bottom half…
At the top half of both plates is a sample of a moldy raspberry. On the bottom half are samples of apple skin where the skin had turned…
I sampled the air by placing these plates outside on our front porch. Both media types display growth of white molds, however PCA has a considerably greater amount…
I sampled the air in my kitchen. Both types of media exhibit a nearly equal amount of mold growth; however, PCA appears to have slightly larger colonies than…
These two petri dishes contain dust from my vacuum cleaner following its use. Between the two media, we see a large amount of different cultures growing on the…
This sample is of two leaves, one brown and another green, taken during a walk. There is significantly more growth on the PDA plate, especially when looking at…
This sample was taken off of two different onions; one having a white/yellow powder on it (left on both plates), the other having seemingly nothing (right on both…
So this sample comparison, is of my pantry air samples. In this case, we see almost no growth on the PDA plate, whilst we see significantly more on…
This sample was taken from two trees in my backyard, one being an alive cherry tree and the other being a (I believe to be dead) cherry tree….
Tissue sampled from a decaying jack-o-lantern. The insides have fungal growth and the walls of the pumpkin is soft to the touch. I expect to see high fungal…
Soil sampled from a pot outside my balcony. The plant itself is showing signs of distress, so I suspect it might be something in the soil that is…
The tree in my yard had white spots that I hadn’t noticed before. With all of the organic material including moss, surrounding the white spots of the tree…
I use my green waste to dispose of all of my organic waste, so I am expecting a very large, diverse number of fungi to be seen growing…
I chose my vacuum cleaner, as it picks up dust from all around my house. I am expecting that the sample I took from the filter will have…
I had an apple that I noticed had started to go bad. I’m expecting there to be a larger amount of fungi as well as maybe some bacteria.
I had a pumpkin leftover from halloween. I hadn’t carved it but there was a small bit of damage and it was starting to look old. I expect…
-I isolated fungi from the rain-water collected in this murky puddle close to my home. It was a dirty puddle filled with rocks, leaves and mud but I…
-I isolated fungi from the brown freckles, the peel, of this banana. It was stored outside in this plastic bag and bought from my local Walmart. This banana…
I took a tiny bit of water from my birth bath and added this to the petri plates. I shook each plate back and forth to try and…
First, I want to say that I’m shocked at what has grown from the air we breathe. I went out on a drive and held the Petri dish…
I took a sample from a moldy bread and I expect to see a lot of growth on my petri dish. I chose this sample because I can…
-I isolated the fungi from this hedge close to my home, more specifically the circled leaf in the picture of an unknown species of hedge. I took the…
These samples are samples of fruit. I noticed brown spots on an apple from an apple tree and decided to use this tissue to see what was growing…
On the left half of the Petri dish I have plated a sample of mold growing on a hand fan. The fan was left outside in the rain…
I took two samples from my plant. one sample from the soil and one sample from the dead leaves. I’m really curious to see what type of fungi…
Samples of okra and strawberry that had started to mold were plated on the CMA and PDA media. In the image, the okra sample is on the left…
-I isolated fungi from one of the leaves in this picture that I believe came from the main stem with leaves still attached. I believe these came from…
I took a sample from this quinoa salad that I made for myself last week. I love quinoa salad but apparently molds love it more. I expect to…
