Mould/Mold is a fungus. It is often greenish-blue, black, or whitish

in colour. It appears on the surface of animal or vegetable matter
that has been left in warm moist places. Fungi are decomposers.
Fungi are microscopic organisms. The threads of fungi penetrate
the food. And draw nourishment from the food. Other tiny
threads from the fungi grow into the air. They behave like the
stems of plants. Each stem has millions of tiny balls called
spores growing on it. New fungi grow from the spores.
Caution: Let the teacher know if you have an allergic reaction to
