Raspberry Pi Time Lapse of Mold Growth on Food

An estimated 40% of food goes to waste in the US and though we've all had food go bad, we don't really get to see how it happens. This is what 22 days of food left in 90% humidity looks like when compressed into 35 seconds.

I shot this using a Raspberry Pi 2 and a Raspberry Pi camera made by Arducam that accepts M12 board lenses.

Interesting. How many days did it take to grow?

One day, we will all feed the fungal caverns

Mold actually tastes pretty good if you try it!

I can imagine this footage to visually stand for a science exhibit on fungi and molds at a science museum... Hmm.
