why does bread go mouldy

[pinus]

Airborne spores germinate on contact with the bread and the fungus grows. There's an description of it here http://uk.encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761573526/Mould.html and a short movie here http://www.flowersbakeries.com/kids_bread_mold.html

also, aswell as airbourne bacteria, you can do an interesting experiment by taking a slice of bread and placing a handprint on it. leave it for a week and you can see a mouldy hand shape on the bread! after doing this, think about all the things youve touched in the last week! lol
