Grab your piece of food (Bread works too, which I would say is better to experiment mold with) and place it in a zip lock plastic bag or one of those that clip closed at the top. Seal the plastic and leave it somewhere out of harm's way. After a day or two you will notice that the fruit will start getting wrinkly and black (Or green from the mold Tricholoma on breads) and it will eventually become a black lump day by day. NEVER OPEN THE BAG UP ONCE THE MOLD HAS STARTED.

After a week of first spotting the mold, dispose of the plastic bag with the fruit or bread STILL SEALED INSIDE carefully.

Why do molds don't grow fast in fruits?

Molds do not grow quickly on fruits because fruits have natural defenses that make it difficult for molds to thrive. These defenses include a low pH, high sugar content, and natural antimicrobial compounds that inhibit mold growth. Additionally, the skin of the fruit acts as a physical barrier, limiting the access of mold spores to the interior of the fruit.
