Index of Subjects --Apple-Mail-252--488951614 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi James, I don't have any particular expertise in this area, however, I can tell you that molds are fungi. There are a great variety of molds, however, they differ from fungi like 'mushrooms' only in not having their filaments united into large fruiting structures. Identifying molds is not a simple task and usually requires microscopic examination of the hyphae (filaments) of the molds and its fruiting bodies. There is an excellent website at the University of Toronto on molds which I thoroughly recommend as an introduction: http://www.botany.utoronto.ca/ResearchLabs/MallochLab/Malloch/Moulds/Moulds.html Best wishes, Chris On Mar 13, 2008, at 6:56 PM, James Hirtle wrote: > I have a great photo of a growth of some sort on top of relish, > which was in a bottle.
