These different food resources are relative in their ability to grow fungi.

Compare white sugar to brown sugar to molasses to malt to soy sauce. Increasing ability to grow fungi as you go along that gradient, because of the structural ciomplexity of the sugars and proteins in these materials.

Molasses has some fungal foods, but malt has more fungal food, but less fungal food than soy sauce.

Hope this helps -
