Apparently there are numerous interesting ways for fungus or bacteria controls
to be had from orange peels to hamburger to slim Jim's to hot dogs to
strawberries to . Sounds like fun to me. I'm curious, with the emphasis
now on quality control in labs run amok, has anyone passed a rigorous
I used strawberries for a fungal control. Worked really good.

specimens than liquid samples.
The best staining control is an inhouse-specimen, that is processed in the same
way as any other specim
