      They have yes – for many different reasons!

      The most common thing, and its easy to happen, is that they get contaminated with something other than the fungi I want to look at! We all have bacteria on our skin, and accidentally touching something means you contaminate it with your bacteria!

      Its a bit of a pain, but just have to repeat the experiments!!
