Question

Marsha is eating a chocolate bar that contains hazelnuts and other ground nuts. However, as the bar has a bad taste, she stops. On closer inspection of the bar, she sees a fungal growth around the nuts, embedded in the chocolate. What kind of a fungal infection could have infested the nuts?

Answer 1

Most probably mould type of fungus must have infested the nuts... the type we see if bread is left open

Answer 2

The kind of fungal infection could have been the one called Aspergillus Flavus. This is so because these bacteria are commonly found growing on grains, legumes, and tree nuts. Also important to say is that these bacteria produce aflatoxins that are harmful for both humans and animals
