Bread has the right environment for mould spores to grow. It is warm (if kept out of the fridge), has a moisture content & the surface is textured perfectly for mould spores to take. Therefore it is a perfect host for their growth. As the mould spores grow, they consume the moisture in the bread and they spread into larger moulds as they consume more water. So in response to it being a chemical or physical change, there is something of both processes occurring. As the mould grows there are enzymes being produced by the mould which affect the bread and change its chemical nature, also the physical change is obvious as the bread shrivels due to dehydration. Also the colour and texture constitute a physical change. Hope this helps

Apple ripening is a chemical reactn (new person answering) It is a chemical reaction because when you think about it, an apples ripening only happens once; apple buds on a tree, goes yellow, goes green, goes red-ish, goes juicy red, is either eaten or falls off the tree, goes mouldy and shrivels up. Hope this answer helped and was improved than the other answer! :)
