Feeding Fresh Strawberries to My Pet Mold 

I think the 1st was already in a state of decay while the two to the right were still fresh. So they had to begin to decay 1st, for the mold to spread.

You touched them all excessively. I'd be surprised if moldy wasn't transferred unintentionally during the setup.

Lots of strawberries tend to grow mold under the calyx. It’s possible that the mold did not transfer over and was inherently latent. Moisture tends to stay tucked under there during growth which can lead to the molding.

they got contaminated by excessive hand movements

Strawberries rot fast anyway. Their are fungi and bacteria on them from the moment it's harvested and there are many in the air aswell. It's spontaneous fermenting (like kriek beers).

I want to see this! 👀🌟

Giving little shop of horrors

Resident Evil 7

Like that movie annihilation

Sounds wonderful

@lif6737😂😂😂

😂relatable

Mood.

BAHAHAHHAHAHA

The ones at the store are already moldy I can't even buy em

You don’t?

Ofc you wouldn't

I have a pet mold

I have several, came with my university apartment for free!! :)

@@emersyn444 my mold is named jimmy smith andersoni

Interesting, thank you for taking your time to share this!

Amazing. Do you work in ways of preventing its growth?

Algorithm needed this comment!

What happens if you eat it? Asking for no particular reason

​@@TheDreamingMaga Probably a food poisoning.

I want you to cover me like that

@@The_Server_ong It made sure to finish the first one before moving on to the second. I think that's very cute!

tbh I dont think it realized there was another strawberry til way later

​@@jiyookim-jung975 But it didn't finish before starting on the second one. I was actually quite surprised by how quickly it went to the 2nd strawberry compared to the time it took to get started on the first. I wonder if it's because the strawberries' resistance drops around the same time and that the mold might only start spreading quickly once that happens.

My mold pet can't possibly be this cute!

No. But you can get a friendly breed like Blue Cheese.

Does he bite?

​@@lorawerito7563 he never did that he just wants to play

​@@tonicwater_xdyet

He likes to hug and get into holes

How can you say this with this relaxing emoji?

​@@IntrovertSinceBirth don't you find the thought comforting? of nature embracing you, taking you back, even after we're all gone we will go on to nourish the organisms that break down decaying matter to make it useful for other organisms

@@kai_fatallysapphic I second that, like no matter your worries or stresses in the end you're just going to be food for mold and insects, and that's kinda really nice and relaxing to think about! it puts things into perspective a bit

@@judy3827 exactly, whenever I'm depressed or anxious it really helps to think about, soothes my soul

​@@judy3827plus it's my only use in life😢😢😢

Russet, brown or green?

​@@RustyhairedAlp9575 I believe this thing is pail-grey, from the token I used... I mean, it wasn't even the mold according to my initial plan, but now it is, and it's their)

I'd love a summary of this weird chain of events. Dnd stories never fail to be amusing

@@lyria261 ok) Players had to stop a runaway spacecraft from colliding with a planet, and there were amorphous creatures on board, that were basically monster spawning points. In my notes they were just called "stains", but because of the token I used, players decided that it was mold. Then, one of the players decided to steal one) The process was hilarious, but he succeeded (by arbitrary criteria I came up with in the process), so now it's his) I need to add some plot hook with it) It was the only thing on the whole ship I didn't expect them to steal)

​@@nabra97that sounds great XD In a way it reminds me of an old campaign I was in. We decided we wanted to clean up this abandoned castle to be our new home, our wizard just casually walked out the back door from the kitchen & an ankheg (dunno how to spell) rose up out of the ground and attacked him. He actually 100% died from this and we didn't have enough money to pay for a resurrection lol. Then the rest of the party just up and decide to keep the ankheg as a pet instead of killing it XD

Especially after we die

​@@jacobramirez4894 true, I guess I don't need to be scared of dying alone then

​@malaksaraissa3500 full of happiness?...

​​​@@SheHulk-jg2jc that works

@malaksaraissa3500they can. mold can love too

I think mold is a fungus and not an actual being 💀

It’s called a joke my guy.

Jumpscare fr

The french have been owning them for centuries :)

I’m French and I’ve never heard about this :’)

​@@melissadebrouwer7226I imagine that the joke is in reference to blue cheese.

You can too! It's cheap compared to any other pets, and all you gotta do is provide it with food and provide yourself with at least minimal protection

@@LexolotlTheLegend It can go weeks without eating! even surviving drying out completely! (or rather the spores usually will, not the actual fungus itself)

True, but think about all the times you've probably eaten the mycelium of a mold that just hasn't born spores yet. I think most of these molds are a lot more harmless than we tend to think.

@@rowanbelt3612they definitely are but me personally I can take the risk if it’s molded it’s going in the trash.

@@insectpublic Yes that's fair. Personally I try to find a good balance between safety and conservation. For example, if I have a loaf of bread and a few pieces on one end have mold on them, I'm not going to throw away the entire loaf of bread.

@@rowanbelt3612 actually interestingly bread is one food in which mold spreads insanely fast, as the web-like structures of the gluten allows the mold to weave around it and spread like wildfire, meaning when mold is visibly blooming on one side, it has already reached the other however a hard cheese the mold must burrow through, making it less dangerous interestingly rice is considered to be compremised by mold only a few hours after it is cooked, as mold can grow in it extremely easily also the only part of the mold we see it literally just the spores, hundreds of thousands of spores, so we only see it when it is already full grown and blooming that being said mold isn't as dangerous as most of us imagine, usually (but it can very easiliy be very dangerous, just not worth risking too much really)

@@NeonRahkshi Thanks for that information. Really interesting. I think it does, perhaps, add to my point that the mold that grows on bread is harmless... considering how much of it we must all have eaten on multiple occasions.

What breed is it?😂

Your pet mold looks like fluff

i am allergic to it 😢

@@pangur780 white cotton mold

​@@merissapennington6531 just like any other pet!

Me too

I think the mold was just spreading throughout the inside first

Intresting experiment. I would make a second dish with only fresh strawberrys so you would have two dishes one with your pet mold and another without pet mold . Same air same temperature same ventilation. You will see the mold in the second dish too cuz it don t spred . YEP IT DONT SPREED BUT ITS FROM INSIDE

she takin her sweet time

Same if you look in the fridge its like within a day😂

He did stab it with a tooth pick.

the one singular mold owner in the world

also broke it to pieces to look at its insides 😅

Bread mold will be in every part of the bread, so if there’s even a tiny spot, the whole loaf/bag is completely full of it.

Mold spores so you have to discard the whole bag

dude, please let us know you're okay.

It's been two weeks, he's dead of bread mold overdose.

It's not weird

@@PhotoOwlyour pet mold is so cute.😊 also did you adopt it or get it from a breeder?

I found my pet mold eating some food someone left out for it. I took it home and he's the best mold boy anybody could ask for ❤

I didn’t expect to be feeling warm and at peace watching someone feed strawberries to their pet mold, so you’re not the only one who thought it was wholesome! It’s not weird!

Not at all. This is why a soundtrack is such an important part of media. It immediately affects the emotionally tone and impact of a scene

I think they're rotten

Im sorry but wth? 😮

@@natashazerlina540 What do you mean?

This is sort of how I feel as well. The more we remember mold is natural the less icky we are interacting or at least seeing it

@@karyotesnyan7265 Glad I’m not alone with this! For a similar reason I’ve started watching a RU-vidr who kept exotic spiders as pets a few years ago, it didn’t cure my arachnophobia but it really helped seeing spiders through this new lense of someone who treated them like others would treat a dog or a lizard :)

Maybe dont use your mental health diagnosis as an excuse or crutch for your bad habits?

@_.aniMATTion it’d be interesting to analyze the molds on the different strawberries and see if they the same

Definitely the spores from afar. That’s how mold works. It’s mind blowing. Stuff doesn’t have to be touching at all. Those spores are wicked. Once they hijack something, forget it!

Indeed. That’s why if you see a single moldy piece of bread in a loaf, throw out the whole loaf. If the mold has reached the point where you can see the mold, then it’s already releasing its spores to the rest of the bread.

​@@connorgrynol9021good for upset stomach

Agreed, that’s the goodest mold I’ve ever seen😊

It’s a they/them

no it's fun/gi

Is that a reference to something? Also we must let the cold embrace of the rot consume our flesh and feast upon the nutrients within our souls🥰

​@@Car_made_of_cheese i think it is, it sounds sooo familiar

Rain world reference

I pet mold it name is Moldy i always feed it with bread then it dead

@@customcard_156 oh 💀

stay spotted

@@customcard_156hahaha 😹😹😹 flip you dude!1!1!1!1!1!1

No u didnt.

Omg 😳

​@@PhotoOwl lol I had the same reaction to watching the strawberries 🤣

Thank you so much 😀

Organic will probably rot faster because the phytosanitary level is lower.

Not random, I was preparing for this video by letting a few go moldy hahaha

Even if it was random i wouldn't blame you lol i swear they go off so fast​@@PhotoOwl

damn...

My brain hurts... But I finally got there... 😵‍💫🤣

does your friend have a pet mold as well? 😊

@@lukewarm_lemon_tea yes, me.

This had to be done

Yeah, it’s kinda like what my pet mold did to my entire family. Now they keep making clicking noises😊
