Are bread mould carnivore or omnivore?

Answer 1

Bread mold, such as Rhizopus or Penicillium, is neither a carnivore nor an omnivore; it is a fungus. Fungi obtain nutrients through absorption, breaking down organic matter rather than consuming it in the way animals do. They thrive on decaying organic material, such as bread, by secreting enzymes that decompose the substrates into simpler compounds they can absorb.
