Here is a diagram of bread mold in detail. strawberries, peaches) if not eaten soon enough.Taxonomy and Phylogeny. Usually, one sees thread like structures on top of which there is a circular shape. Bread Mold (Rhizopus) is one of the most frequently encountered members of the Kingdom Fungi, appearing not only on bread but on a variety of other foods (e.g. Note down, the appearance of the mold under the microscope, this can form a part of the observation. After the experiment has ended, none of the samples was taken out of the plastic but disposed of directly to prevent mould spores from escaping. However, when this experiment is performed in school many times the students are asked to observe the mold under a microscope. If you are performing this experiment at home, then you might not have access to a microscope. This will help in concluding your experiment. If you want, you can take videos or pictures of the mold every alternate day. Another column of your table can be observations of the mold under the magnifying glass. The tiny black dots are its spores, which can grow to produce more mold. You can note down their physical appearance like color, shape, amount of growth per day, texture, etc. A common mold that grows on bread looks like white cottony fuzz at first. It is important that you observe them every alternate day without fail, and note down your observations in a table. Make sure you observe the five bread samples every alternate day at a fixed time of the day, say 2 pm. Wear mask and gloves whenever observing the bread mold samples. Keep these two sample in a place where they don’t get disturbed. For example, on the fourth bread sample you can add some salt, while on the fifth you can add 2 tablespoons of water. Before you seal them in the bags and mark them with sticker add one of the above mentioned five items to them. So, keep the first sample in a dark closet, second in a corner of the refrigerator where it doesn’t gets disturbed, and the third one in an area of the house which is most of the time brightly lit.On the first sticker write “Sample #1 – Dark Closet” on second write “Sample #2 – Refrigerator”, and on the third write “Sample #3 – Under Light”.
Put sticker on the three bags, and write down using a marker on them.Seal three bread slices inside three transparent sealable bags.Repeat steps 2 for the other four bread slices.Then rub the dust from cotton swab over the first bread slice.Take the cotton swabs and run them over areas which have dust, like under a table, bed, or basement.So, gather the above equipment and follow the below steps. However, to make it interesting and more detailed you can work on 5 samples of breads rather than just one. Growing mold can be a simple experiment, and performed on a slice of bread. Lemon juice/water/apple juice/salt/sugar (at least two of these items are required).
