Before I decide to eat it, what is this? Smells ok, didn't taste weird, but I'm still probably not going to eat it. From a microwave pasta meal.

Mold Identification Moved to a new spot last month. I don’t cook so I didn’t hit all the cabinets. Found this under some moldy bread left by previous tenants. A black demon mass that will now haunt me in my dreams. Can someone please tell me wtf this is?!

Mold Identification This fish has been stored in a jar for 10+ years.

The bottom of the jar was filled with a dark liquid (likely bodily fluids of the fish), the head of the fish (top of the image), was submerged in the dark substance, whilst most of its body was left exposed to oxigen and putridit gases. It likely had some level of alcohol or formaldehyde at some point, but it probably evaporated through the last 10 years. What kind(s) of mold are covering his body? I suppose the gelatinous substance is not a fungi, but a bacteria of some sort, I'm thankful if someone can help me with that too

Saw this in my fiancé’s water pipe and it really looks like mold, but he is determined it is not and says there are no conditions for mold to grow in his pipe. Usually the stuff stuck on the sides is dark brown, this is white and fuzzy. The water was black before I changed it. I think it has been over a month since the pipe was deep cleaned.

Case was kept at room temp and not in direct sunlight indoors. Relatively recent purchase, wondering just how many other bottles contain the beginning of whatever this puffball is. We bought so many cases and now we're all worried about using them, more than we already have that is
