Past its Use by Date

...... a battleground for fungal colonies ............
....... that jostle for supremacy when the colonies collide, and in doing so create a rather attractive, furry abstract design.
Once the mould has smothered the cheese surface its time to reproduce ....
..... via stalked sporangia ......
.... that resemble little white pom-poms...
.... each of which releases .......
