    You may not be getting mold because the bread may have preservatives that prevent bacterial growth. Bread without preservatives (sodium propionate) is a wonderful medium for growing mold. Here are some tips to harbor the growth of mold:

    Check the ingredients of the bread, we want white bread without propionates.

    Put five to 10 drops of water on the piece of bread and store it in a Ziploc bag in a warm place.

    After seven to 10 days, you should notice some fuzzy white, black, orange or green spots on the bread. The green color is typically a mold called Penicillium (from which penicillin is made). Once visible, the mold will grow noticeably each day.

    The bread needs to be moist. If you leave a slice, moistened on a plastic plate, on a counter it will pick up the spores from the air and grow. It does take a few days and maybe more moisture. Be sure to develop a way to keep it covered to take it to school, some people are allergic to mold and generally mold growths are not allowed unless enclosed.You could hasten it if you fid some fruit with some mold, transfer a few spores.

    You’ll get mold a LOT faster with bakery bread, and you’ll get a greater variety of species. Most packaged breads from the store are stuffed with preservatives, which inhibit mold growth. Perhaps you could do a controlled experiment using these two sources of bread and see what differences you observe?

    FYI: If you wet the bread too much, you’ll get bacteria instead of mold.
