I obtained a pack of home-made cake from bakery but failed
to check the manufacturing and expiry dates on the label. I placed the packet
in refrigerator. As I opened the pack after 2 days, I saw some white cottony,
fuzzy patches on the cake. At other end I saw greenish patch. I took a sample
from the different patches and observed it under foldscope to see whether it
was one species or different species. The cake being porous, the fungal hyphae
could have spread all over and within. I threw the infected cake in the bin to
avoid any health hazards.
