Since in the workshop I was expecting the bread mold to be Rhizopus But it turned to be Aspergillus species. To make my concepts clear Teacher handed me preserved material of Rhizopus.I prepared its slide and observed it under foldscope and now could make out clear cut difference between Rhizopus and Aspergillus . I failed to stain it so images were a little blurry.
