Post 13.

I decided to grow my own mushrooms, but after some research I discovered it takes at least 4 weeks to grow the quickest type, and nearly impossible to do in winter, so instead I found a way to grow bacteria.

I got an agar plate (a shallow dish used to culture bacteria). It's used for science and causes germs and bacterias to grow alot faster then normal because of a special gel layer on the bottom of them





And placed germs in it, after keeping it over the weekend in a warm place a mould begins to grow and spread in it, like this.
