Solution

Formation of bread mold:

  1. ​If a moist bread is exposed to outer environment then there is a chance of formation of bread mould.
  2. Bread mould is the formation fungus that leads to spoilage of the bread making the food not worthy of intake.
  3. The spores of fungi like Penicillium, Fusarium, Rhizopus, Aspergillus and Monasus are all present in air and spoils the bread as it grows on it.
  4. Scrapping the mold off does not make the bread mould go away as it goes deep into deep inside the bread forming roots, which will again make the fungi grow back.
