It takes 3 days or less for some food leftovers or even just wet spots on wood in room temperature to start growing a good amount of bacteria all over it, so how is it that like all of the ground and other organic material out in the elements aren’t completely covered in mold and algae after billions of years?
In: Biology
The Earth IS covered in bacteria. Every surface in your home probably is too. But don’t worry, most of it is harmless.
Slime molds feed on decaying plant matter, so although they are abundant, they are mostly found in the soil.
