Ever questioned about Mold? Well, this document is here for you to read about the Life Cycle of mold!

Draft 1st Paragraph

annabelle4ptj — 2017-05-22 21:21:12 UTC

Firstly, just like every living thing on this existing earth you'll have start small. In the life cycle of mold, they start as a tiny little dot called a "Spore" which is the beginning of mold. Spores are airborne which means they fly around, landing on favorable surfaces such as fruits, wood and other things. Depending on the type, we'll be explaining about when a spore lands on a beautiful piece of fruit.

Draft 2nd Paragraph

After landing on a favorable landing spot, the spore would release something called: "Hyphen" which is a white-hair like tube. Hyphen breaks down the fruit, absorbing the nutrients of whatever it has landed on. But the mold doesn't digest the substance of its landing spot, it digests from the outside which helps it grow. But there isn't just one Hyphen, there is a whole cobweb-looking system called "Mycelium".

Draft 3rd Paragraph

Now, the main spore doesn't release one single Hyphen tube, it releases many of other ones to help break down and affect the desired setting. You don't normally see this happen cause it'd be cover with disgusting green fur or spots. The Mycelium system has Hyphen tubes crossed over each other, creating a cobweb. But how does the next generation of mold continue?

Draft Conclusion

In conclusion, it seems that mold seems to just ruin our food and such but mold is actually helpful for an example: "Moldy cheese" or to get rid of a pile of old dying plants. The spore generation doesn't end, it continues on and on and will never end.

Draft 4th Paragraph

annabelle4ptj — 2017-05-23 21:30:51 UTC

Well the mold, during its deconstruction it produces a "dizzy array of fruiting bodies" which is the green stuff that appears on your bread or fruit and such, their job is to produce the next generation of spores/mold. The fruiting body can look like a red toadstool or just a teeny tiny knob, their primary job is to launch the next generation of spores!
