Bread gets moldy when it comes in contact with mold spores that are present in the air. Bread is a good food source for mold. Moisture paired with warm air causes the mold spores to reproduce rapidly.

How do you grow mold on bread?

To grow mold on bread, simply place a piece of bread in a warm, damp environment with limited airflow. Mold spores naturally present in the air will settle on the bread and begin to grow, forming fuzzy patches of mold over time. This process can be accelerated by increasing humidity and temperature levels.

Can you eat bread that is not molded but there's some mold in the bag?

It's not recommended to eat bread from a bag that has mold, even if the bread itself does not show any signs of mold. Mold spores can spread easily and contaminate the whole loaf. It's safer to discard the bread to prevent any potential health risks.

How bread mould moves?

Bread mold, primarily caused by fungi like Rhizopus stolonifer, spreads through the release of spores into the air. These spores land on suitable surfaces, such as bread, and germinate when conditions are favorable—typically warmth and moisture. The mold then grows through the bread by extending its hyphae, which absorb nutrients and allow the fungus to proliferate. This process results in the visible growth of mold and the eventual decay of the bread.
