There are mold spores everywhere. when you put a bread mold in a stored container for long it gets dirty. Mold spores attach to dust particles or dirty food items. So that is how the mold forms. Molds like DARK MOIST PLACES.

We've heard that high concentrations of sugar can be a preservative like salt, but in our own science fair project (about a teaspoon of sugar dissolved in about 1/4 C. water), sugar water made the mold grow rapidly. We also compared whole wheat bread to an Italian style white bread. The sugar water was much more effective in growing mold on the wheat bread, I assume because the wheat bread would have more sugar in it.

Moisture causes mold to grow. Also if something is unprotected from germs and other bacteria it is a mold magnet.
