While most of us prefer to buy our Christmas trees, a group of scientists from the J.Craig Venture Institute (JCVI) rather grow theirs with the use of mold.
Using different types of mold, the scientists have combined science and art to create colored images of Christmas trees and a snowman.
Instead of seeing it as gross and disgusting, these scientists hope to show the underlying beauty that mold possesses.
