Check out this time-lapse video to see what happens when you bury a slice of pineapple in soil. I placed the slice on a glass side table and then covered it with a good amount of dirt. Not long after, a bunch of tiny, whitish insects showed up, probably soil mites, and started helping the pineapple break down. Something cool happened on the soil's top layer-dog vomit slime mold (Mucilago crustacea) appeared, and I captured its movement over 12 hours.
I kept adding water throughout the shoot because the soil, being out in the open, dried up really fast. This open-air setup was a neat twist compared to my 'cigarette in soil' video, where I kept the soil and cigarette contained in a jar.

Fun Fact:
Did you know that pineapples are not just one fruit, but a group of berries that have fused together? That's right, each pineapple is actually "berry".
This unique structure is why pineapples are considered a type of multiple fruit or a collective fruit.
If you're new around here, just so you know, I always include a fun fact in my video descriptions. Hope you'll stick around for the next one!
