It really depends on the where the Blue cheese is from. Blue cheese's are usually named for the town or district they are made in. You should ask your teacher where they got their cheese, so you can then figure out what fungus is responsible for ripening the Blue cheese. For example: Stilton is made from Penicillin glaucum, while roquefort is made from Penicillium roqueforti.

∙ 14y agoNo, it is not made OF fungi, but it is made WITH fungi spores! Namely a form of the penicillin fungi, which is added to most by inserting metal wires into the cheese. These gouges fill with the spores (which are everywhere and are found in the air). Alexander Flemming discovered penicillin by leaving a petri dish out with some bacteria on it. The mold spores landed on the dish and over time, the fungi began to grow (mold, fungi are both the same - as are mushrooms and toadstools albeit different versions ) which killed off the bacteria in the dish.
Bacteria is not the same as mold. Bacteria are made of microbes - tiny living creatures similar to but not quite animals that have very simple lives just eating, growing and reproducing before dying- whereas fungi are a type of plant. Their differences are very slight and very scientific. Search for the differences to learn more!
