mold needs moisture, nutrients and a suitable place to grow to conduct. Outdoors, mold can be found on soil, foods, plant matter, and other items. Mold is usally found in wet areas but you should search behind and underneath materials (carpet and pad, wallpaper, vinyl flooring, sink cabinets), furniture, or stored items (especially things placed near outside walls or on cold floors). Sometimes destructive techniques may be needed to inspect and clean enclosed spaces where mold and moisture are hidden; for example, opening up a wall cavity. Hope this helps! -Haley

What is the fastest way to grow mold on bread?

The fastest way to grow mold on bread is to cut an orange in half, because of the sodium the mold will grow more and faster. then pour some orange juice (fresh squeezed) and leave the orange on top of the bread. you will start to see mold on it in a few days! hey by the way, i have an experiment on it later on, in school so i would have put the picture of the mold but someone has to answer this quickly, am i right?


Do oranges grow mold and how I would like to know because I am growing mold on an orange that is cut in half for the Science Fair at my school. If you have an answer go right ahead and type it.?

Oranges can grow mold better because an orange does not have any preservatives, unlike some bread and stupid idiots..., or cheese. Preservatives help the food not mold or grow fungus. -P.S. I am in 7th grade and i learned about this today in class, i am doing a project on it. Hope it answered your question. -Oranges can grow mold, as long as mold spores are present. Mold will grow best once the orange begins to decompose (preservatives don't last forever, therefore mold may grow on any decomposing organic matter)
