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?

The mold uses the bread as substrate to grow and absorb nutrients, while it absorbs humidity from the air. That’s how it can grow even on dry surfaces
