Someone left their banana in the fridge at work. Not sure how long it's been in there.

At one point, say 5 years ago, everyone became an accomplice. I could not ignore that thing, no matter how many times it telepathically tells me it comes in peace. Not on my fridge, ew

[u/Sea-Finance506]

I honestly thought this was corn smut at first glance.

[u/avocadoflatz → u/Sea-Finance506]

And it is growing on the fruit of a monocot just like corn smut.

Coincidence?

Absolutely.

Fascinating.

[u/turquoise_amethyst → u/Sea-Finance506]

Banana smut??

[u/NanDemoNee → u/turquoise_amethyst]

Dammit you beat me.

[u/Brettersson]

This may be the first thing ever put into that fridge. You should put it back, out of respect.

[u/bloom_after_rain → u/Brettersson]

like our parents did, and their parents before them. why break with tradition at this point?

[u/Full-Ear87 → u/bloom_after_rain]

Soon our children will come to learn of the responsibilities for caretaking of the fridge banana.

[u/Zoldrik190]

Perfect for banana bread 😋 (are my bananas good for banana bread though 👀?)

[u/turquoise_amethyst → u/Zoldrik190]

locally fermented, probiotic banana bread

"Is this a SCOBY?"

[u/yaaaaaarrrrrgggg]

You should have left it a little longer than put it in a more prominent place for a Halloween decoration. ;)

[u/turquoise_amethyst → u/yaaaaaarrrrrgggg]

Tiny sunglasses and/or a hat

[u/SwedishMale4711]

Perfect specimen for microscopy.

[u/BeanOfKnowledge]

Give it a bit more time and that Banana will begin to walk out of the fridge on its own

[u/Agreeable_Buy2817]

An entire ecosystem of different molds and bacteria.

kind of random story - in seventh grade science class we had to do a demonstration presentation and I did how to make Jello ‘cause it seemed really fun and easy. well all the Jello didn’t get eaten by my classmates and I just threw it in one of the empty lockers and went to my next class. Somehow I ended up completely forgetting about it for a while. Later in the school year I remembered it was in there and after school one day I snuck to clean it up and it was so nasty - like so much growing off of it and it was growing off the top and sides of the locker and it stunk so badly - I couldn’t believe no one had noticed from the smell. I was gagging scooping it out of there and it was awful but I was just so thrilled when I got rid of it all and didn’t get in trouble for it

[u/binspolicy → u/ru-berry]

lol nice.

[u/canonlycountoo4 → u/ru-berry]

Reminds me of when the school brought in a drug dog and got a hit on a kid's locker. They opened it up, and like 100+ bottles and cans fell out. They searched every thing but found no drugs.

[u/curiouslagoon]

That banana knew a world without ai

[u/AdOwn7563]

If you stare at it too long it looks like a bunch of pug puppies. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/j3ven]

Biology is interesting

[u/AcademicCandidate825]

That's not even mold anymore. It's some kind of new Pokemon.

[u/PumDeluxe]

I save bananas in the fridge for weeks to months to make banana bread, never have I even got close to this state.

So i'd say give Newton a call, maybe he is missing some fruit.

[u/PureBlackberry6541]

Aww its undergoing metamorphosis!

[u/ldevera]

If anyone knits/crochets, I would pay you money to make me a sweater in that pattern.

[u/a_karma_sardine → u/ldevera]

Yes, those colors are a statement.

[u/uwuplantboi]

I thought that was a very...large caterpillar on top

[u/Floppy_Studios]

Almost perfect for banana bread

[u/vm_linuz]

Fruity

[u/NanDemoNee]

Banana smut.

[u/BxRad_]

It looks creative

[u/meatchonk]

Cut it open and count the rings to see how old it is.

[u/MasterOfDonks]

Reminds me of my high school backpack 🤣

[u/treelorf]

Just pop it in the freezer. Make banana bread later.

[u/GrahamCawthorne]

By the look of it, I'd say it's been sitting there for at least 15 minutes.

[u/Samukuai]

Looks like a wet pile of socks extruded out of a piping bag

[u/richiewilliams79]

The green stuff? Looks like spinach? Was that in the fridge too and became symbiotic with the banana?

[u/DoctorDoucher → u/richiewilliams79]

Someone has to feed the century banana

[u/Myc0l-Jordan]

Send it

[u/a_karma_sardine]

What do you call them?

[u/inko75]

As if the banana wasn’t innuendo filled enough now it has smut
