The mold on bread is a form of penicillin, which is an antibiotic.
Many times, they would soak the bread in milk or wine. This allowed them to make a poultice that would seep into the wound. The wine would sterilize the wound, while the milk would help draw out the pus caused by the infection.

Why does unwrapped bread not go mouldy?
Because it is protected from the outside air. If it is mold free when you put it in the bag and suck out the air, the mold has no way of getting inside.
Can you put bread in the fridge to mold?
Molds disperse by spores. These spores can be airborn and get on the bread when it is exposed to the air. Spores can also be dispersed when an organism (such as yourself) comes in contact with the spores and transfers them by touch to the bread. Apparently many spores are transferred to bread during the slicing process.A good discussion on this subject can be found in the book The Relation of Fungi to Human Affairs written by William D. Gray in 1959 and published by Henry Holt and Company, Inc. The discussion occurs between pages 428 and 430.

Is epsom salts valuable as a poultice?
Epsom salts, also known as magnesium sulphate, is most commonly used in a bath, though it can also be used as a poultice: Dissolve a couple of spoonfuls of the salts in water that has been boiled--to disinfect it. Bathe the infected wound using the water as hot as you can bear by dipping a cotton ball in the water and letting it run over the wound. In the case of a finger, for example, dip the finger in and out of the water. Put a spoonful of highly concentrated solution of Epsom salts on a piece of bread about the same size as the wound. My mother used to use plain white bread. Put the bread directly on the open infected area. Bandage and leave over night. In the morning you will notice that the salts have drawn pus out of the wound and it will be deposited on the bread. In France, it is used mostly as a purgative.

What can you put in water to make it get moldy?
Mold needs carbohydrates to grow. A little flour, sugar, bread crumbs, or cornstarch will provide the nutrients needed. Mold requires a starter colony of spores but these are generally already in the air except in the cleanest of environments. You could get the starter from some already moldy bread or fruit. Give it a few days with no great extremes of hot, cold, sunlight, etc. You might cover the dish lightly with a paper towel or a clean rag.
