If a piece of bread (or really any type of food for that matter) is left unprotected in the open air, germs and bacteria will infect it and take it over. The bacteria will form green or brown mold.
If a piece of bread (or really any type of food that contains moisture) is left unprotected in the open air, (can happen during manufacture as well) mold spores will land on it. Mold is a member of the Fungi Group or Kingdom depending on the classification scheme. The mold, finding a suitable environment will use the moisture and nutrients in the bread to reproduce. Bacteria do not produce mold.

∙ 10y agoMold is like many other life forms in that it needs certain environmental conditions to grow and flourish. These elements are warmth, moisture and oxygen. The most common cause of premature bread molding is packaging while the bread is still warm. This causes condensation (moisture) and oxygen is present in the atmosphere and the warmth comes from the loaf itself. Mold can also contaminate bread due to poor personal or environmental hygiene.

∙ 15y agoThe mold is the fungus that grows if the bread has been kept out for a long time and/or not consumed for a long time (even if you keep it in the fridge) DO NOT EAT bread once the mold appears as it may harm you. REMOVE the bread from the fridge once it starts to get moldy because chances are that it will contaminate other food products kept nearby.
