Why do mushrooms grow if there is thunder and lightningexplain?

Mushrooms can grow after a thunderstorm because the moisture and humidity in the air create ideal conditions for their growth. The lightning may also release nitrogen, which can benefit the mushrooms' growth. Overall, the combination of moisture, humidity, and nutrients from the lightning can stimulate mushroom growth.


What are the main functions of moisture meters?

To monitor moisture/humidity in moisture sensitive products such as: grains, wood, concrete, etc. Moisture meters help detect where there could be a moisture problem and mold could grow from that moisture.


Is there wet mold and dry molds?

Mold can grow on surfaces with high moisture content (wet mold) as well as on dry surfaces (dry mold). However, mold requires moisture to grow and thrive. Wet mold is typically more visible and easier to detect due to the presence of moisture, while dry mold may not be as noticeable but can still release spores and cause health issues.


Can fastidious organism be grown on a general purpose medium?

No because fastidious organisms, or organisms that have highly elaborate and specific nutritional needs, do not grow on a general purpose medium because they require the addition of one or more growth-supporting substances, enrichments such as additional plant or animal extracts, vitamins, or blood.


Does water or coke make mold grow faster?

Water would typically make mold grow faster than coke because water provides a more suitable environment for mold to thrive, with its higher moisture content. Coke, being acidic and containing sugars, might slow down mold growth due to its less hospitable environment for mold spores.

Why do dried foods such as cereals remain edible for so long?

They last so long due to their low moisture content - pathogens and spoilage organisms cannot grow.


There are 4 basic substances that have been used by living organisms over and over again to live and grow What are these 4 substances?

Food, air, water and shelter.


Why do plants need a liquid to grow?

Plants absorb nutrients etc through the process of Osmosis. This process can only work when these elements are dissolved in water as it depends on the soil moisture content being higher than the moisture content of the root cells.


Why fungus does not grow on plastics?

Fungi require organic material to survive and grow, but plastics are made of synthetic, non-biodegradable materials that do not provide the necessary nutrients for fungal growth. Additionally, plastics often lack the moisture content required for fungal colonization.


Why red beans and flour does not spoil easily?

Spoilage organisms need moisture to grow. If stored properly, dry foods - like dried beans and flour - don't have the moisture that will support microbial growth.

How does moisture spoil food?

Moisture provides an environment suitable for the growth of pathogens and spoilage organisms. So you have to control the moisture levels in the food, depending upon the preservation method being used.


Can you put moisture into a sentence?

Plants need moisture in the soil to grow.


What instrument measures moisture in soil?

TensiometersProtimeter products and instruments for measuring moisture and temperature in materials and the environment. Such instruments are used for wood, civil engineering and agriculture or any area where the presence of moisture is to be detected

Why does milk spoil?

What is the reason for milk to spoil so fast? Well, it is the very high moisture content, along with the abundant supply of nutrients (so that bacteria can eat and grow!).


Honey can be kept without decaying?

Honey has a low water content and acidic pH, which creates an inhospitable environment for bacteria and microorganisms to grow. Its natural properties, such as high sugar content and low moisture, help prevent spoilage and decay. Properly stored honey can essentially remain stable indefinitely.
