What is Mold?
Mold is a type of fungus that consists of small organisms found almost everywhere. They can be black, white, orange, green, or purple. … Molds thrive on moisture and reproduce by means of tiny, lightweight spores that travel through the air. You’re exposed to mold every day.
Is mold worse in summer or winter?
Mold is more prevalent in the summer because fungal spores get a lot of food and water to grow. In the winter months mold spores are typically not as prevalent, since mold can’t grow in freezing temperatures.
