<p>hi jeremiah, i have observed this as well. i had several times contamination by some mold and p.p. forming fruiting bodies soon after. i remember once i had p.p. using the mold to climb up to the lid of the petri dish trying to get away from the ground. but i never observed this closely or did repetitive experiments... but would be interesting to see your results...</p>
