Yes, bread stales faster when refrigerated, but it molds much more slowly.
Depending on weather, homemade bread might mold in a few days at room
temperature, but refrigerated will last mold-free for a couple of weeks or
more. As long as it's not too stale, stale bread toasts okay and even if
really stale can be used for croutons or breadcrumbs or the like. Moldy
bread must be discarded.
