Moldy black raspberry
|
Keeping fruit fresh in a refrigerator is a challenge. These black raspberries became moldy after less than a week in a refrigerator. Most of the mold on the surface was mycelia without reproductive structures. I used a clear 3M transparent tease tape and with a 85% lactic acid mixed with fuchsin dye to identify the organism under 400x power.
