Please explain.

Answer 1

map it.
I do an experiment with my students, but we look at the different species of mould that occur on bread over time (they have 2, one in a damp envrionment and another in a dry environment).
Draw a square (even put grids to make it more accurate) the same size as your bread........you could also take photos of it to....but maybe put a ruler in the picture to use as a scale to map percentage area of cover.

You can either put the photos in or draw a series of pictures showing the change over time (and maybe call them species 1, 2, 3 and put approx areas of coerverage (in percentage coverage eg species 1 20% coverage or area coverage eg species 1 3mm2, species 2 10mm2 etc)
If you can't identify the species or the difference between 2 very simialar moulds don't worry.

Answer 2

With a moldometer.
Exactly what do mean by measuring mold?
