Best Answer

Molds usually get their nutrients from where they grow and live. They can easily have their necessary foods from there and can grow more in number.

What will mold a banana faster clear plastic bag a brown paper bag or 10 foil?

Mold is the growth of various types of bacteria on a surface. In order for the growth to occur, there has to be enough nutrients and a good atmosphere. Since foil does not have any organic compounds, it is a very poor source of nutrients so would result in lower mold production. Plastics are not good sources of nutrients either, but they do allow for more light and so would have less growth than the paper (an organic product) bag, but more than foil.
