    1. It Looks fluffy, I would like to pet it. And then sterilize my hand in the fires of hell, Just in case.

      I thought this was a old dirty rag in at the bottom of a shower from the thumbnail.

      in college when i was taking some dumb microbiology class, we had to wipe a surface an try to identify the bacteria after it grew on the dish. Well I took a q-tip and rubbed it in my belly button. After the plate grew, it was ALL a fuzzy fungus. Teacher asked me what surface I chose, I guess I just made up something, I didnt want people thinking I was all fungusy.

    4. Before I read the title properly, I thought this was an aerial view of a lake and that was a diver in the bottom right of the mould!

      How did it get contaminated? Was it prefab media? Shouldn’t there be quality control? 

    6. Just pick it off, the agar is still good to eat. Unless it has FBS in it. In that case i don’t want it.
