Rhizopus: Fungi of the species Rhizopus stolonifer are one of the most common and fastest growing fungi in the phylum Zygomycota. The black bread mold, as it is more commonly known, also causes rotting of fruits and some infections of humans. This species of fungus dissolves the food it grows inside of, using extracellular enzymes, then it absorbs the nutrients for use by the mold.
Neurospora: The red bread mold Neurospora crassa is one of the most important fungal species used by biologists, second only to baker's yeast. In 1958 George Wells Beadle and Edward Lawrie Tatum used red bread mold in their experiments, which led to the "one-gene-one-enzyme" hypothesis and the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Beadle and Tatum. Since Beadle and Tatum, scientists have used red bread mold in their experiments concerning epigenetics, gene silencing, cell fusion, and circadian rhythms.
Penicillium: Fungi of the genus Penicillium, when growing on bread, appear as blue-green to gray fuzzy patches of colonies with white borders. Penicillium fungi grow well at low temperatures, so if you find mold growing on bread kept in the refrigerator, it is probably Penicillium. Apart from ruining your bread, Penicillium was the first mold found to produce antibiotics, and it is used by physicians to kill specific types of bacteria in the body. The mold growing on your bread, however, is probably a different species of Penicillium and should not be eaten as many people are allergic to it and can suffer severe reactions.
there are about 1000 different types of indoor mold found in the USA. i dont know them, but i do know that there are that many in the US of A.
There is probably thousands of different types of mold

No. There are many different types of mold, but many foods have mold all ready when they are eaten. Do you like blue cheese? The blue color is a mold within the cheese and it is allowed to ripen to get get that blue vein. You probably all ready eat mushrooms. They are a fungus. I can think of many things that people eat that have mold or are a fungus.

Mold can potentially grow on anything that is moist or damp. Tomatoes, along with many types of foods, are mosit and the nurtients in the foods provides nutrients for the mold to feed off of.
I am unsure of the exact number of diffeent types of mold allergies but according to my research the most common molds that cause allergies include alternaria, aspergillus, cladosporium and penicillium. There are several articles on the internet that discuss mold allergies.This link tells a lot about the mold allergies. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/mold-allergy/DS00773/DSECTION=causes
There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture.
No but there are certin types of mold that go with certain foods.
Yes, sugar can affect the growth of mold because it provides a food source for mold to thrive. Mold requires nutrients to grow, and sugar is a common food source for many types of mold. Storing items with sugar in a dry, cool place can help prevent mold growth.
Five types of mold that grow on bread are penicillium, rhizopus nigricans, aspergillus, mucon, and Rhizopis stolnifer.
