Detailed explanation-1: -Some of the most critical factors in fostering conditions that result in mold growth include temperature levels, moisture levels, oxygen, pH, water activity, and nutrient availability Block (287).

Detailed explanation-2: -The bread mould grows profusely on a moist bread slice rather than on a dry bread slice because moisture is an important factor for the growth of hyphae. Moistened bread slice offers both moisture and nutrients to the bread mould, hence it grows profusely.

Detailed explanation-3: -This mold looks fuzzy on bread, and when it first grows, it tends to appear light in color (either blue, green, or white). Over time, as spores are produced at the ends of aerial hyphae, the mold spot becomes black in color. R. stolonifer grows in circular patches, and will quickly expand over the surface of bread.

Detailed explanation-4: -A common mold that grows on bread looks like white cottony fuzz at first. If you watch that mold for a few days, it will turn black. The tiny black dots are its spores, which can grow to produce more mold.
