The discussion centers on a hexagonal-shaped mold formation found in a week-old bottle of apple juice. The mold is described as solid, maintaining its shape when shaken, with oval-shaped indentations at the corners. Participants suggest that the mold's structure indicates it may have been shaped before being introduced into the juice. A recommendation is made for a more scientific examination, including cutting open the bottle and taking a vertical photograph for analysis.

It looks like it was shaped then set loose in the solution. I have had bottles of that brand of juice far older with only a tiny spot of mold. (my daughter likes juice, drinks in the car, half empty bottle roles under the seats, found later). No telling what was introduced into that bottle.Edhel said:
