Identifying moldy vegetables in the refrigerator

Moldy red pepper - N. Carlson

With a microscope at home it's fun  to check on what's growing items that have gone way beyond the best by date.  These red peppers were in a closed container for more than a couple weeks.  The primary organisms identified were yeast and the dark colored Cladosporium spp. The Fridge temperature was reading 36 degrees F. or a 2.2 degrees C.
