So much for that airtight container!
Not really fungi in the woods but damn, what has been growing in my fridge!
Feel particularly filthy right now! |

An air tight box is not going to prevent your food going rotten if the fungal spores are already on your food, as you are creating a nice little incubation chamber for the mould fungus to flourish.
Sometimes moulds are used to enhance the flavour of food, but not in this case, so chuck it.

PS. To play safe, check the temperature of your fridge.

some form of Pilobolus sp. perhaps ??
or more likely Rhiopus sp, as Pilobolus is mainly found on animal dung,
see this link for example http://www.plantpath.cornell.edu/Pho...edits1_FC.html

Day one of seven of not going to work. LOL No experiment here. Yuk
Day one consisted of cleaning my fridge - in a big way after finding that!
The mash carrot went in the bin 2 minutes later. | | |
