No. The opposite. Dark and stagnant air produce mold. We have a breathable basket on the counter. Time is the other factor but the kids devour bread like Tasmanian Devils.

I have had the same whole wheat loaf of bread in my cabinet for 2 weeks and it's still just delicious. I never mentioned stagnated air, just darkness

Darkness is where mold grow. Sunlight kills mold.

Edit: BTW what I'm stating is the facts but keeping your bread in the cabinet is okay! Mold doesn't grow that fast especially if you get a typical loaf from the store. Those preservatives and sugar and salt also fight mold. Personally I get nicer bread and cut it up and freeze it which is also not optimal but I hate the ticking clock when it's a bread only I eat.

Not dark and stagnant, dark and moist. Moisture produces mold faster
