Mold is a term used to describe a type of fungus that is an often fuzzy-looking growth that appears on the surface of organic materials in damp conditions, both outdoors and indoors. Molds may be gray, black, green, yellow, orange or various other colors, and may have a velvety or wooly texture.
Molds in essence are fungi. Molds are often found in places with poor ventilation, dark, dampy environments such as basements, bathrooms, kitchens, cellars and places with poor cleaning. Mold is common and is found in nature, is a normal component of dirt and dust. It is found in several forms and some mold is used in cooking (flour yeast) and in making antibiotics.
