Mold
What are molds?
Molds are tiny microscopic organisms that digest organic matter and reproduce by releasing spores. Molds are a type of fungi and there are over 1000,000 species. In nature, mold helps decompose or breakdown leaves, wood and other plant debris. Molds become a problem when they go where they are not wanted and digest materials such as our homes. Molds grow best in warm, dark and moist conditions.
