Most People Settle For Growing Flowers,

vegetables or decorative plants,


so I was surprised to see these,

shot by Beauty of Science

the timelapse captures Rhizopus, Aspergillus Niger, Aspergillus Oryzae, and Penicillium spores with a supermacro lens, 

magnifying the microscopic organisms as they grow and sprawl across the screen, each of the molds is utilized to ferment common foods,

like wine and soy sauce, and to add pungent flavors to cheese,

The Rise of Molds” plunges into the minute world of four species of fungi as they fester, sprout, and morph from spindly, white shoots into dark, dense patches, making a video of growing molds, who would have thought it?
