Mold is a term used to describe a type of fungus that is an often fuzzy-looking growth that appears on the surface of organic materials in damp conditions, both outdoors and indoors. Molds may be gray, black, green, yellow, orange or various other colors, and may have a velvety or wooly texture.
When the mold comes in contact with a substrate, such as bread, it first spreads over the surface and penetrates it while sending hyphae inward to absorb the nutrients. Rhizopus stolonifer grows primarily as mycelia, which consists of long filamentous cells, or hyphae, that lack cross walls, known as septa.
