Fungi reproduce by means of spores, tiny particles smaller than the majority of tiny dust particles in the air. Ordinary air contains many millions of these spores suspended in it per cubic foot. They settle on everything, including food and stick to it. If the surface the spore landed on contains even a bit of moisture then the spore splits open and the fungal cells inside begin growing hyphae into that material.
