Living on Vapours: A tenacious black mould grows on a chemical store at the University of Surrey. It looks similar to Baudoinia compniacensis ,the mould that thrives on alcohol fumes and consequently grows abundantly on whiskey distillery buildings. As the mould in the photographs grows nowhere else on the campus, I'm guessing that it too is thriving on invisible fumes of the chemicals stored inside.
