It is due in part to the presence of the microscopic spores which arise from the mold mass, and which, breathed into the nostrils, produce the pecul- iar effect upon the nose which gives rise to the odor. It is due also in part to gases which arise from the molding material as the result of decomposition. At all events, mustiness is always character- istic of mold growth, and whenever any material or any room smells musty we may be confident that it contains growing molds. We may be sure also that any material capable of molding, if left in such a musty room, will be sure to show signs of molding in a short time. (4) In the end the growth of the molds results in the total ruin of the food, since after a while mold growth produces decomposition, putrefaction, and decay. These later changes are due to the fact that the molds are consuming the material as their own food. While they use the food for their own purposes they are producing chemical changes which result in the production. Fig. 19. A bit of Gorgonzola cheese.
