Bread molds form on bread kept in enclosed spaces like bread boxes or covered drawers because these environments trap moisture and create a warm, humid atmosphere which is ideal for mold growth. Additionally, bread boxes may not have sufficient ventilation to allow moisture to escape, accelerating mold formation.
Mold spores, bread, moisture and the right temperature.
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.
Bread mole, also known as mold growth on bread, is typically caused by spores from the environment landing on the bread and finding a suitable environment to grow, such as warmth and moisture. To prevent bread mold, it's important to store bread in a cool, dry place and to consume it before it becomes stale.
The fungus that grows on old bread comes from airborne spores in the environment. When bread is left exposed to air, moisture, and warmth, these spores can land on the bread's surface and start to grow, forming the visible mold.
Because there is mold spores everywhere. There would already be some in the air in the bread box/covered drawer, so the spores would just take root and grow.
Fresh bread does not contain spores. Spores grow in bread as the bread ages. From the spores mold grows and spreads throughout the bread. To prolong the life of your bread without spores place the loaf in the fridge in a sealed case.

Yes, but not the same sort of spores.

As mould spores are everywhere in the air, the bread would become mushy, and the spores would grow and turn the bread rather mouldy.
Believe it or not, fungi can actually float around in the air. Fungi spores are found everywhere, and every time you open a package of bread, these spores will enter. After a few days, the spores will turn into the green mold that usually signals that it's time to throw away the bread.
