Question

(d) It is commonly observed in rainy season, that leather shoes are spoilt due to fungi growing
on it. Why is it so? How does the season promote the growth of fungi on leather?​

Answer 1

The new fungi grow from its spores. The fungal spores keep floating in the air. The spore is covered with a hard covering which protects it form unfavourable conditions. Under favourable conditions, a spore germinates and grows. Rainy season provides favourable conditions such as hot and humid climate for the germination of fungal spores. Thus, we find fungi growing on pickles, leather, clothes and other articles that are left in hot and humid weather for long time.
