I'm doing a science experiment on mold growth on bread. I'm trying to figure out if different temperatures affect mold growth. I'm using wheat bread (with preservatives) and bread with no preservatives. I let all the bread be exposed to air for 30 minutes. I put all the bread in separate zip-lock bags. I put 3 of each kind of bread in 3 different locations: in the refrigerator, in a room at room temp., and outside. My problem is that the wheat in the room hasn't molded and it’s been about 30 days. I have no clue what I did wrong. Do you think that the bread just won't mold or is something wrong? Thank you for your time!
