Orange bread mold

Orange bread mold, commonly caused by the fungus *Rhizopus stolonifer*, is a type of mold that appears as orange or pinkish patches on bread. It thrives in moist, warm environments and spreads quickly through spores. The mold's fuzzy appearance and vibrant color make it easily recognizable. While it helps decompose organic matter in nature, it can cause bread to spoil and may produce allergens or toxins if ingested. It’s best to discard moldy bread promptly to prevent health risks, and always store bread in a cool, dry place to inhibit mold growth.
