Fungus in a way are sort of related to mushrooms. They reproduce through spores. As you know spores are microscopic like pollen. Like pollen, they are everywhere just floating around in air. Whenever food is exposed to air as during preparation, some of these spores settle on the food. Given undisturbed moist environment, the spores grow to fungus. If you let it alone, you can tell there are many species of fungus by color, some green, white, gray, black, etc.

Fungus might be in your head. What were you trying to ask? Oh, wait, what you be askin?

If I understand you correctly, the answer is that fungus grows when spores (think of it as a fungus seed) land on material that can be consumed by the mold (hairy, fuzzy, mushroom, or otherwise). Plants have fungus sometimes; a hollow tree trunk, for example. Fungus does not usually grow in living material, so plants must have decaying material to support fungus growth. Food gets moldy because spores exist in the air and sometimes on the food itself in a dormant state until the food starts getting old (don't worry, it won't hurt you). I hope this answers your question.
