Recently I grew some yeast fungi. I dont know if thats the right thing to call it, but it will have to do for now. Anyway, this is how I did it:
Supplies:
Yeast
Warm water
Sugar
Petri dish
1. Put approximately 1.7 teaspoons of yeast in the Petri dish.
2. Add some sugar.
3. Add enough warm water that the yeast/sugar is damp, but not slushy.
4. Mix the substance up a little.
After a little while, this is what it will look like this:
Note the slight swelling in the mixture. That white stuff is just a little paper towel, but I dont think its necessary.
In a few hours, this is what you will get:
The fungi will grow even more if you feed it more sugar. It wont last for ever, but it should live for at least 3 days!
