Answer

If a piece of bread (or really any type of food for that matter) is left unprotected in the open air, germs and bacteria will infect it and take it over. The bacteria will form green or brown mold.

If a piece of bread (or really any type of food that contains moisture) is left unprotected in the open air, (can happen during manufacture as well) mold spores will land on it. Mold is a member of the Fungi Group or Kingdom depending on the classification scheme. The mold, finding a suitable environment will use the moisture and nutrients in the bread to reproduce. Bacteria do not produce mold.
