Mould grows on bread and other food substances when they are left in dark, warm and moist conditions. It is a fungus that grows on almost all forms of organic matter. After a while, it breaks down the matter into slime and uses it as its own food. Some people are allergic to moulds.I hope I answered your question.

∙ 14y agoBread mold
is a kind of fungus that usually forms on the surface of bread. This fungus causes the bread to lose its nutrients from the spot where it is present
. It is formed due to the presence of moisture on the surface of the bread and once it sprouts it keeps on growing and spreads from the original spot to the whole surface of the bread.
There are many different kinds of fungi in the environment and the bread can catch one of them when exposed to the air. As the bread has some moisture and is also nutrient, the mold would start growing and spreading on the surface of the bread

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.
