Project Mould
Day 1

Dark

Light Observation: Not much mould, tiny bits appearing on oranges. Cheese not growing anything but there are specks on the bread

Dark Observation: Growing more mould than samples in the light. Bread is growing mould fast, oranges have specks growing around it in the bag, apple is browning, apple-rotting fungi. The cheese appears melted and turned to liquid. Reason for this is unknown

Day 2

Dark

Light Observation: A lot of mould has grown on the bread and oranges. Cheese continues not to change. We decided to expose it to air to see if anything would change and opened the bag

Dark Observation: Not a lot of change, but mould is still growing. There is a bit more on the bread and on the oranges. The apple is continuing to rot and the liquid cheese now has the tiniest speck of mould
