25 Days of Mold Turning Jell-O Into an Alien Landscape

Are you a fan of spores, molds, and fungus? I knew it. Here’s a timelapse video of mold growing on rotten green Jell-O for 25 days, brought to us by Temponaut. Things get pretty nasty at about day 7, and by day 20? That’s looking like some grassy rolling hills on an alien planet.

You know, there was a study in 2015 that explored if some ghost sightings might be caused by mold. I don’t know if that’s true. All I know is this Jell-O is definitely haunted now.

According to this piece over at BBC, those researchers ended up visiting 27 hot spots, about half of them allegedly haunted. They found a “statistically significant difference in the prevalence of mold” at those haunted locations.

Maybe ghosts are just mildly attracted to mold? I wonder how they’d react to gelatin. Either way, hopefully they cleaned those houses up after the study!
