Plants are often plagued by various fungi. Study 2 investigates the resistance to fungal growth in each of the soils. Another sample of each potting soil was saturated with water and left undisturbed for several days. One set was exposed to sunlight, the other was kept in a cool, dark room. Fungal growth was noted and recorded in Table 2.
