Molds are microscopic fungi that spread both by sending out root threads and by scattering spores into the air. Bread left in a warm, moist environment makes a great breeding ground for many species of mold.
Bread Fungus
The Backyard Nature website says rhizopus stolonifer, the bread mold fungus, is one of the most common fungi in the world. The federal Food Safety and Inspection Service says root threads of the mold probably run deeper that what is visible.
Aspergillus
The U.S. Agricultural Service says Aspergillus molds are also found on white bread. Aspergillus molds are found throughout the world, but are particularly prevalent in winter and fall in the northern hemisphere.
Penicillium
Penicillium molds can be green, grey and white. Penicillium is the source of penicillin, but it has to be grown on a special base: Penicillium on bread won't make antibiotics.
Life Cycle of Bread FungusBiologist Steve Ziegenfuss says the life cycle starts with a wind-blown spore landing on bread. Given enough moisture, hair-like hyphae will sprout over the bread, absorbing moisture and nutrients. Eventually, the mold will have enough nourishment to produce new spores. Ziegenfuss says baking bread kills mold, and adding chemicals to the bread can restrict their growth. The FSIS says to control mold in your kitchen, you should clean and sterilize your counters, cabinets and refrigetator regularly.
It is called Rhizopus and it is a type of fungi.
It is where the bread has gone old and bacteria has caught on the bread and started to live on it.
zygomycetes
black fungi. Get it? Cause he's a black fun guy.
Yes, moldy bread would be in the protista kingdom. Zygote fungus is in the protista kingdom and can cause bread to develop mold.
none of these are plants, they are all fungi
Diatoms it is MOLDS..

Yes. Bread molds are fungi. All fungi are eukaryotic.
yes. unicellular fungi are called yeasts (as in bread yeast). multicellular fungi are molds.

normal bread molds faster because it has more sugar and energy to feed the fungi.
Molds are considered to be microbes and do not form a specific taxonomic or phylogenetic grouping, but can be found in the divisions Zygomycota and Ascomycota. There are Fungi known as molds. Slime molds and water molds are not Fungi.There are Fungi known as molds. Slime molds and water molds are not Fungi.
