A spore lands on a surface and finds food and water to feed off. The spores will start to spread around the food (bread in this case) and make more spores which would spread quickly. This would start the growing process for mold. Mold can grow as fast in either 12 to 24 hours or even take a couple of weeks. For mold to grow there would be water, food, good air quality, and temperature. Depending on how each of the 4 things will depend on the mold. Mold is normally found everywhere around you and grows when there is moisture around there.
