The organisms responsible for this are fungus. Examples of this group of organisms include the mold found on decaying bread and yeast.
The mode of nutrition that is found among the fungi is referred to as saprophytic nutrition. This mode of nutrition involves breaking down of complex organic matter found in dead organisms by the use of enzymes. For this reason, the fungi are usually referred to as decomposers. The fungi are heterotrophs, meaning they depend on already preformed organic material from the dead organisms they grow on.
