1) The source was the air sample in my backyard, I just left the plate outside for an hour and took it back inside 2) I was curious to see how much fungal spores I could be breathing in every time i step into my backyard 3) I expect to see low fungal growth, since there likely wouldn’t be too many spores in the air. This is also compounded by the fact that it was raining when I took the air sample, so I had to use an umbrella to block the rain, which could have prevented spores from blowing in
