Mould life cycle process

How does Mould grow in Bread?


What we’ve seen our fruit bowls, in our Fridge, or maybe even in our Lunch boxes that we left in the Holidays, have you ever wondered how that disgusting Mould grows in your perfectly made Sandwich that Mum made for you? Well i’m going to explain the simple process of how your yummy Sandwich get’s infected and results to a green fury disgusting food source.

Firstly, there a little airborne microscopic units called “Spores” that are floating in midair that are on the lookout for a food source it can find and devour and decay. Soon after the Spores find the food source and make their way inside, it will then release a thin hair like tube which I will explain much more about very shortly.

This tube is known to be called, “Hypha/Hyphae”. The reason why this tube is sent out is sent out is, because when go back to the Spores, when they have fully grown inside the food source and got use to it, it will then release the tube.

Soon after, the Hyphae will eventually secrete enzymes which causes the food source to break down. Sooner or later, the Hyphae will from a cobweb like criss-crossed mat that is called “Mycelium”.

The Fungi then produce ray that is rather dizzying which forms fruiting bodies.
The Primary functions for these fruiting bodies is to launch a next generation in the form of spores, which causes the process to restart.

Even Though Mould can be seen nearly everywhere, yet I’m still questioning about it. Like, why is Mould meant to be seen in our normal lives?, are there more pros than cons about Fungi, but honestly, I have mixed feelings for them.

W.A.L.T: Identify the structure of an explanation text and explore the language features of an explanation text. What I enjoyed telling people new information about the Mould cycle if thy haven't already. What I could do next time is to add more detail into my text.
