Fungus on bread

Hi there,

 

I was just thinking as of why fungus grows on bread. What makes it to grow it ?

 

Any help will be grateful... :)

Fungus reproduces via spores, which get *everywhere*. They're in the food you eat and the air you breathe. The only different between moldy bread and fresh is that the spores haven't had time to hatch yet and grow to a visible size.

Thanks for info.. :)

And fungus likes bread. When you find fungus in bread you also know that it is healthy - not poisoned by toxic preservatives.

Also yeast that's responsible for making bread rise, by releasing CO2 is a unicellular or single celled fungus...annoyingly all food groups that contain yeast can sometimes make me itch e.g bread, marmite and beer. :-(
