Mold is another word for fungi whose bodies gather and congeal together to form cottony vegetative bodies. Not all mold is cottony, however. Types of slimy mold are more like amoeba than their cottony cousins and leave a moister, slicker mass on the molded surface. However when it comes to bread, you will most always see the drier, threadlike mold.
Mold commonly grows on bread faster in warm, dark, moist conditions. However, mold can grow in light, and some molds can even grow on frozen foods. Molds grow in varying conditions, at varying speeds, in every color you can think of.
Black bread mold is one of the most common molds. It starts out microscopic. However, as it takes in moisture, the mold begins to grow and produce. Hyphae are produced, which grow upright as they absorb water, sugars and starches.
black bread mold makes the bread go bad. And it’s not only the bread that is damaged but the food around it as well. This is because the mold grows and reproduces. As it reproduces the mold spreads to nearby areas until it is killed.
Not only do they make food go bad, but mold also cause fungus-related illnesses. For example, there are some types of mold that can grow on people! These molds, or types of fungus, reproduce faster than others do. However, they are not visible. They may be spread through foods, transferring of items or in any other way

the mold on the bread is the rotted away part of it and if you do eat it, it will give you a stomachache for 2 days or so but if you drink orange juice people say that it'll go away faster
