Question

When a slice of moist bread is kept in open for few days fungal growth is observed . From where does this fungus comes on the bread slice?

Answer 1

Fungi reproduce by spreading microscopic spores.These spores are often present in the air and the soil but in general ,spores are everywhere ,and many strains grow on food. As long as the food provides perfect living conditions for the spore to survive,they spread.

Fungus needs four things in order to grow,
1.Water(moisture)
2.Food
3.Sustainable air quality
4.Temperature

The spores which are present abundantly, reside on moist surfaces thus producing fungal growth.
