Mould fungi growing on food

Article no: P1444301

Principle

Surely you have seen on several occasions that molds have grown on food. Molds live on organic matter composed of carbohydrates, fat, and protein. As foodstuffs contain these substances and the required moisture, they make an ideal substrate. The macroscopically visible mold is just one part of the fungus. It only emerges when the food is fully
interspersed with mycelial threads (hyphae). As many molds produce toxic substances, moldy foodstuff should not be consumed.
