Apologia 4.3 Molds and Mildews

In this lab the students gathered mold from tomatoes and lemons.  Curious thing about science is it doesn't always work.  I set jelly, apples, and bread aside with moisture according to the instructions and they did not mold.  But a quick look in my fridge and citrus basket yielded samples to work with.

Molds on the tomato were both black and white.  Textures were fuzzy and powdery.
Mold on the lemon was GREEN and very powdery with a tendency to "poof" if manipulated too much.
