Most molds grow better in warm, moist environments. Most breads provide all the moisture that a mold could want. Some molds prefer colder environments, but grow more slowly than the molds that prefer warm environments. So mold will eventually grow on bread most anywhere, but will do so sooner in warm areas than in cold ones.

What is the effect of light on mold growth?
Mold grows best in dark areas but it must have some light exposure. when it is exposed to light completely the mold dows not grow very well
What environment makes mold grow the best?
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
How can you identify mold on wood?
The best way you can tell if you have mold growing inside your walls is to look for moisture. If you spot water damage on a wall, it is a good indication that there may be mold growing inside. Mold also has a distinctive, musty smell, so you should be aware of that.

Why did they invented penicillin?
It wasn't invented on purpose. It was a Scottish guy that invented it and the story goes: he left a window in his lab opened and went on holiday, when he arrived back at the lab he noticed that the bacterium he had growing in his petree dishes had grown all over except in circles around a piece of mold or fungus or something that had blown into the lab through the window. He extracted the stuff that was in the circle that was clear of bacteria and worked out that the substance must either kill or hinder the growth of bacteria.

You must toast it
What is needed for bread to turn moldy?
Bread must be exposed to moisture and mold spores to become molder. That happens quite easily on the kitchen counter.
How does temperature affect the rate of mold growth on food?
Bread molds in well about 2 weeks I did some research on it and found out it actually molds in wetter damper and humider condions if your bread starts too mold it begins too spead every where so it is alway good too check your bread at least once a week or in two weeks but the bread doesn't mold as fast if you keep it in a freezer it molds in 5 too 6 weeks but if you let the bread sit out once you have taken it out of the freezer then the wet or dampness will affect your bread and eventually start too mold

What foods grow the most mold?
Molds grow over many surfaces, for example wood and food. Mold grows best in warm and moist temperatures, but some mold can grow at freezing temperatures. Humidity and temperature must be stable enough to foster the growth of mold colonies, often seen as a downy or furry coating growing on food. Bread that is kept in warm moist environments is prone to the growth of mold. It becomes stale more quickly in the low temperature of a refrigerator, although by keeping it cool, mold is less likely to grow. Foods That Grow the Most Mold: Lemon, Bread, Cheese, Fruits/Vegetables.
What is the procedure for mold growing on bread and cheese?
Procedure:Step 1: Wipe one of the two slices of bread on the kitchen bench or any other surface regularly used for food preparation. The second slice acts as a control for the first; it shows what would happen without wiping it on the surface. Step 2: Spray both slices very lightly with waterStep 3: Seal the slices in separate pieces of cling wrap or separate sandwich bags.Step 4: Place the wrapped bread slices somewhere warm and wait for the mold to grow. Once the difference between the two slices is significant enough, remove them and inspect the results.Step 5: Examine the mold colonies with a magnifying glass. Note that caution must be taken not to breathe in the dust from the mold colonies as it can cause medical complications.What is Happening?The mold colonies have ended up on the bread either from landing on the bread from the air, or as a result of being collected from the bench in the process of wiping. The difference in the quantity and types of mold present show that wiping the bread on the bench results in far greater mold growth as well as diversity.Possible Extension: School Activity to Test DisinfectantsThis bread mold experiment can be extended to test different brands of disinfectants. Student work benches such as those found in secondary school science laboratories are easily as dirty as a standard kitchen bench.To test different brands of disinfectants, divide a standard school bench into sections, one for each brand of disinfectant. Clean the bench section in accordance with the instructions on the bottle of disinfectant. Then wipe the treated area with a slice of bread and keep the bread as previously described. Repeat this process for as many different brands of disinfectant as are available.
How does the mold function in an ear molding procedure?

How can you get rid of mold completely from your home?
It is impossible to create a home that does not have some mold in it. Mold is everywhere. If you have visible colonies of mold growing in your living spaces they can and should be removed. This requires enclosing the work area and carefully removing the materials on which they are growing. Then you must make sure you eliminate the sources of water or moisture that allowed the mold to thrive in the first place.

How hot must you get to kill mold?
Hot, as mold mainly grows because of dampness. When it is cold, the air often will be dry and there is less amounts of humidity it in. With less humidity, there is less moisture for things to grow mold on them. Think about a loaf of bread. If you freeze a loaf of bread, it won't mold for a very long time. If you leave it out on your countertop for over two weeks mold spores begin to grow on it. Heat also is a source for things to grow. Most flowers, trees, grass, etc don't grow in the cold. Mold is not any different.
Why do bananas mold faster than bread?
It's all about the sugar or "Fructose" level in the banana. In order for a banana to ripen (sweeten up) it must be picked from the tree. Once picked, it really begins to "die" turning from green to yellow on the outside, while the inside converts the fruit into a higher Fructose concentration, thus making it taste sweeter. Because fruit is a living thing, it has a life cycle. Once picked from the tree, it's basically been sentenced to death. The sugar level in bread is much lower than the Fructose level in a banana, and most bread also has preseratives added to it to slow the mold process. Finally, bread isn't a living thing. It's just a piece of bread.
Does naan or pita bread need to be refrigerated?
All breads are normally not refrigerated. They will dry out rapidly in a refrigerator if not stored in an airtight container or plastic bag. It is normal to consume most breads within two or three days of purchase.You may want to refrigerate bread if you are having difficulty keeping your bread from molding. This could be because the bread came to you with mold already growing on it, the bread was stored too wet, or you are experiencing high humidity and warm days (ideal growing conditions for mold).If you are making your own bread, remember to let it cool completely, on a wire rack if possible, before placing it into a container or a plastic bag. The steam and excess moisture inside the bread must escape. If you see condensation inside your bread container or bag, you did not leave the bread out long enough. For loaf breads this takes from 2 to 6 hours, depending on the moisture content of the bread. For pita bread it takes perhaps thirty minutes.If you need to make the bread last more than 4 or 5 days, you can refrigerate it. Consider freezing some pieces immediately for later days rather than storing them in the refrigerator.
