- Microscopic pieces of fungi, called spores, are in the air all around us. They settle on an organism when it provides a favorable environment.
- Mold survives by consuming its host environment. This process is known as decomposition.
- Mold thrives in warm, moist, and dark places. A damp piece of bread in a plastic bag will quickly grow mold in most circumstances. Whole wheat bread may provide more nutrients for mold to consume than does white bread.
- Although mold may seem disgusting or annoying, molds and other fungi have many important uses. For example, many antibiotics, including penicillin, are developed from mold.
- Molds can be infectious. Use gloves when experimenting with bread mold, and don't handle molds if you have a compromised immune system or breathing problems.
