Mold needs a few factors to grow
1) high humidity
2) warm temperatures
3) food source
If you were to keep humidity and temperature constant, I would say that wheat bread would grow mold faster. Rye bread is often more acidic because Lactobacillus maybe used in the dough raising process. The anaerobic respiration of lactobacillus can mean higher acidity of the dough and therefore a lower pH value.

Mold will grow quicker on white bread than it will grow on rye or plain brown wheat bread.
It also depends on the formulation of the bread, whether or not it contains artificial or natural preservatives, the quality of the ingredients - and their original state of freshness - and then, of course, the conditions under which the bread was produced and the conditions in which it is being stored.

It depends on what moldy environment you'd prefer to keep your bread in my friends...

Put five to 10 drops of water on the piece of bread and store in a warm, dark place.
After 5 to 10 days, you should notice some fuzzy white, black, orange or green spots on the bread. Once visible, the mold will grow noticeably each day.

Does mold grow faster on store bought bread or homemade bread?
The purpose of the experiment was to discover how the type of bread affected the amount of mold. The bread was cut and placed in separate Ziploc bags. The bread was measured for mold every day and was recorded on the data sheet. My hypothesis was "If the white, wheat, whole wheat, sourdough, and sweet bread were placed in Ziploc bags and left for 20 days, then the sweet bread would grow the most mold because the sweet bread had the most energy (sugar) that the mold can use to grow." Whole Wheat bread was the type of bread that grew the most mold, while white, wheat, and sourdough did not grow any mold. When Whole Wheat bread was left to mold, it grew an average of 60.91 square cm. When sweet bread was left to mold, it grew an average of .58 square cm. of mold. When white, wheat, and sourdough were left to mold, they grew no visible mold.
Why does mold grow faster on bread soaked in milk?
Because milk has lactose which is a type of sugar. It also adds moisture. Both sugar and moisture are needed for mold to grow.
Why is bread mold harmful to us?
Bread mold is harmful because of the mycotoxins that may be present in the spores of the mold. This type of mold when processed can also be helpful as it is used to produce penicillin.

What types of mold grow on french bread?
green mold
What types bread does mold grow on?
Mold will grow on any type of bread as long as the conditions are right. Mold likes to grow when it is warm, moist and dark.
Do different types of bread grow mold at different rates?
No, they do not. I tested the bread and the flat bread molded the fastest, then wheat bread then sourdough bread. White does not mold because of the preservatives in it.
Do the same types of mold grow on all types of beer?
Yes, All Mold DOES NOT Grow On The Same Type Of Bread.

Do white bread and wheat bread grow the same mold?
White bread is wheat bread, so yes, bread made from different types of wheat flour would grow similar or identical molds, depending on exposure to various types of mold spores.
What is the fastest way to grow mild?
There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture.
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?
