Q&A for How to Grow Mold

It can grow in either place. Mold does not need make food by photosynthesis, so it does not need light in order to grow. What will make a difference is how damp and warm the place is.

Mold can grow in just about any place, as long as it has a food source and a warm environment. Some molds prefer dark places because the light can dry it up.

A humidity level of about 50% or higher, damp or dusty conditions, and stagnant air.

Keep it somewhere where it cannot refresh itself -- neither too cool nor too warm a temperature. If too warm, it will melt and if too cool, it will keep fresh for a longer period of time until expiry date.

The color of mold is not specific to the surface it grows on. Mold can be just about any color (ie: green, black, white, orange, etc) depending on the type of mold. In general, however, bread mold tends to be black, white, or green.

You should not grow mold on the walls in your room. When breathed in for extended periods of time, mold can be harmful or even deadly.

You can usually just keep it somewhere that's about room temperature and it will begin to mold over time. How long it takes will depend on the temperature and the type of cheese.

It means that it does not create its food from sunlight, and may be parasitic, or, in the case of the Venus fly trap, carnivorous. However, just to clarify, fungi aren't plants.

Mold grows by many mold spores grouping together on an object and reproducing. The mold you can see with the naked eye is actually hundreds of mold spores.

Spray water on it and keep it in a plastic bag, just like bread. Always wash your hands after handling it.

When germs and bacteria from your hands come in contact with the cheese, mold will grow faster.

It will take about 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the environment. If you have the mold in a dark place, it will grow quicker than normal.

You may want to keep it in a fridge or freezer. That makes more mold grow. Keep it in a bigger container as well.

Paint it with yoghurt or sour milk. They will help to weather it and provides a suitable growing environment.
