There was a day when I left a jar of salsa in the fridge for a little... too long.. It turned out, I didn't have a hard time figuring out the salsa was way past the expiration date.
Now what you see in these pictures are giant packs of mold that grew from the sauce. This isn't much of a surprise because 1. The salsa was expired and 2. The salsa was part liquid, which allowed mold spores to settle as they favor damp surfaces.
Now molds are able to grow from the hair-like structures called hyphae. The hyphae allow the mold to be called a multi-cellular structure as compared to yeasts that are referred to as single-cellular structures. The continuous growth of the mold is shown in the pictures here as hyphae continuously helps the fungi grow more and more.
As compared to molds, the picture seen above represents yeasts. Unlike molds, they're single celled microorganisms belonging in the fungi kingdom.
