Well, mold usually grows on things that are moist or wet, which explains why the bread grows mold. The cereal may not grow mold when left out in the open due to the preservatives in the cereal.Why does fungi grow on wet bread, but not a bag of cereal that is left open?
Fungi, like any other type of plant, needs moisture to grow. The dry cereal doesn't provide enough moisture to stimulate cell growth, so fungi won't grow on the cereal, but will on the nice, wet bread.
