That is very creative! Did you make it?

I don’t find that gross, I think it’s beautiful. But maybe I am a bit too used to mold from my many mycology hobby failures and lazy kitchen habits 😅

Oh, there’s so much potential with this method. Just cultivate different types of microbes (preferably distinctly colors), slice the agars in to small squares, make a mosaic out of them and cultivate a few more days to hide the gaps. Better do the slicing in a proper laminar flow hood though. I can smell the spores all the way from here.

I was wondering if she used thin plastic as separators to keep the different molds apart, but I like your interpretation better

Thanks, I hate it. :)

Disgustingly beautiful.
