bread mould

i finally decided to grow my own bread mould after Adzraai said somethin bout bread mould

it’s like an idea of my own to grow bread mould since last year, but I just didn’t feel like doing it….. until the day when Adzraai mentioned bout whether bread moulds can grow tall

and just like that, I suddenly felt the urge to perform this small experiment

initially, when I told my mom bout this, she was like “Ugh! gross”

then, ,my dad and sis seem to be quite interested too, and they told my mom to let me do it

and, she AGREED.

i took a piece of Gardenia bread that’s gonna expire in 2 days time, put it in a plastic container, moisten it slightly (not slightly, I guess)

VOILA!

…and after three weeks, this is IT!

-bottom view-

three days after i moisten the bread and keep it sealed in a container, i saw patches of whitish mould on the surface of bread

later, signs of another kind of mould appeared, black patches here and there

i suppose that this might be the common types bread mould Penicillium or Aspergillus that we can usually find on expired bread or cake

now the black mould seems to be the dominant species on the bread

does this mean that the white mould is the weaker species which had lost in the competition??

guess so.

well, that’s where I’ve seen bread mould before

does the bread stinks??

i thought that it’ll not stink but it stinks, in a way

during the first two weeks the bread still smells like bread, but this week NO!

soon, i’m gonna try to take a closer look at the bread mould under a microscope and find out which type of bread mould it is

next, i’m gonna test the effects of light on bread mould =K
