Five species of fungi were isolated from mould spoilage on meat other than black spot. 'White spot' colonies yielded Chrysosporium pannorum or an Acremonium sp .; 'whiskers' colonies yielded Thamnidium elegans or Mucor racemosus , and blue-green colonies yielded Penicillium corylophilum. Chrysosporium pannorum was moderately xerotolerant with a minimum growth temperature of — 5C. The Acremonium sp. and P. corylophilum showed a similar level of xerotolerance but had a minimum growth temperature of — 2C. Mucor racemosus was no more xerotolerant than many spoilage bacteria and did not grow below - 1C, but grew rapidly at 3C and above. Thamnidium elegans grew at — 7C on supercooled medium and an intrinsic minimum growth temperature of — 10C was indicated. However, the low xerotolerance of this species precluded growth on frozen media below — 5C. It seems therefore that — 5C is the practical limiting temperature for mould growth on meat, and mould spoilage usually indicates that surfaces of freezer stored meats have approached and possibly exceeded 0C.
