The naked eye will see this common Zygomycota fungus look like a fuzzy growth with tiny black dots at the top of this fuzz. The black dots are sporangia growing at the ends of special hyphae. But, if seen under a microscope, this black bread mold can be described as "a bunch of long threads", actually known as mycelia.

Explain the life cycle of a Rhizopus?
Rhizopus...my favorite topic. On top of bread there is mold and under a microscope it looks like a tree with a white stem and a sphere shaped round black top. It comes like that and from the sporangia more mold is made. The black round spores which look like pollen and are black are the mold spores. It is hard to desride through the internet but the spores land and begin to grow more...they decompose the bread. It begins as a mold spore which reproduces rapidly and then comes as tall with more mold spores that fall. On bread it looks like white as more mold grows it develops black on it. Under a microscope it will look like trees almost.

One day I went out to eat and my carrots looked black. It didn't look like mold, but i wasn't sure so I didn't eat them. Later, at home a took a carrot and placed it over a match it formed a black ring just like the one in the restaurant.
