Pity both the fruit and the vegetable.  In a world where hair growth is a sign of virility in other organisms, hair growth on an orange is the beginning of the end.  Wispy whiskers, silver gossamer spreading across the surface of vegetation signals an invader’s progress.  And as the life is slowly sucked from our oblong or orb-like friend, its insides liquifying, its skin wrinkling, one cannot help but be envious of the mold.  He arrived first, and so he gets to taste the juices.

Well played, mold man.  Well played.
