Question

What type of mold is in moldy food?
Ex: Mucor racemosus

Answer 1

Foods that are moldy may also have invisible bacteria growing along with the mold. Yes, some molds cause allergic reactions and respiratory problems. And a few molds, in the right conditions, produce "mycotoxins," poisonous substances that can make you sick.

Answer 2

Neurospora crassa (new-rah-spore-ah crah-sah) produces spores that appear pink. And the Penicillium (pen-ih-sill-ee-um) molds, the molds that make penicillin, are blue-green. Some of the colors on your bread may be the result of growing colonies of bacteria, which also sometimes grow on old food
