@shaylapatricia Any guess?  I know exactly what it is.  I am a Mycologist afterall.  You will find something like this on your bread if you leave it out for way too long.

mold? @mrdoldum

anonymous · Answer

@shaylapatricia That is the asexual reproduction structure of either a Rhizopus spp. (black bread mold) or a Mucor spp.  Most likely a Rhizopus species.  You can see all the small spores that have been released.  Search for either species online and you will see very similar structures.
