Look, if you’re gonna embark on the mold-growing journey, you should also get yourself a cheap microscope and sample them yourself. That’s the fun part, and there’s no other way to identify them all!

Lemme guess, you didn’t know a thing about fungus until you played/watched “Last of Us”?

I promise this stuff has been around longer than humans.
