So I understand why mold occurs, spores, good environment for the spores to become mold, mycelia being annoying, my question is; why does it remain mold? Like… Say you leave a piece of bread in a breadbin and it becomes slightly moldy after a week, but it’s basically full of mold after a few weeks; at that point, where is the mold even getting the nutrients it needs? Has it not drained all the moisture and other stuff from the bread? Why does it still look the way it does?(that being full of mold) does the mold ever just… Turn to dust and float away? What happens to it?

say you cut a fresh rose from the garden. it will slowly wilt, but it will take a while to decompose completely. same with the weeks old mold bread. even if the bread is full of mold. the mold will finish the bread COMPLETELY before decomposing till it’s ‘dust’. which takes more than a few weeks to do.
