Molds disperse by spores. These spores can be airborn and get on the bread when it is exposed to the air. Spores can also be dispersed when an organism (such as yourself) comes in contact with the spores and transfers them by touch to the bread. Apparently many spores are transferred to bread during the slicing process.

A good discussion on this subject can be found in the book The Relation of Fungi to Human Affairs written by William D. Gray in 1959 and published by Henry Holt and Company, Inc. The discussion occurs between pages 428 and 430.

Why does bread grow mold at room temp than in refrigerator?

The reason that bread kept at room temperature molds faster then bread kept in the fridge is due to the fact that warmer temperatures promote mold to grow. Mold flourishes in room temperature and has a harder time in colder climates.Yes, it would be much slower to mold kept refrigerated, but it will also dry the bread out more quickly.


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.


Bread process decay why how mold?

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.


Does bread need carbon dioxide to mold?

No, bread does not need carbon dioxide to mold. Mold growth on bread is typically due to the presence of spores in the environment, moisture, and the proper temperature. Carbon dioxide is not a primary factor in mold growth on bread.


Which bread will get mold the fastest white bread wheat bread butter bread or sweet bread?

White bread without preservatives will mold first. The butter and sugar will likely impede the growth, and wheat bread is usually drier than white bread. It would make an interesting experiment, using several controls (amount of water, temperature, sunlight, and amount of each substance on the bread)

Does mould on food such as leftovers bread and jelly give you cancer?

Mold cannot give you cancer; however, it can make you sick and you should not eat it or give it to the birds, as they will become ill also. If you accidently eat bread with a little mold it won't make you sick, but if you persist on eating a lot of mold the above poster is correct. During hot weather I keep my bread in the fridge. Warmth and the yeast in the bread is what causes mold, so get that bread in the fridge!
