Mould grows on food because the food is certainly gone bad. Letting the people know that's its gone bad it grows mould and also mould grows because that food may have been lying somewhere for a long time also mould grows when it lies in 1 place after a while there is no space left for the air so then the juice from that certain product goes all over the place in a certain time becoming ''mould''.

Mold tends to form in warm, moist, dark locations. Mold does not produce its own food, therefore it must eat off of their environment. They start off by secreting a "juice" to digest the food, and then they implant themselves within it through their hyphae (microscopic roots) into the now-dissolved food.

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.
