What is Mold?
Mold is microscopic fungi, related to mushrooms, yeast, and mildew and they can be found everywhere. Molds are neither plants nor animals. These small organisms can be white, orange, green, purple, black and live almost anywhere outdoors and inside. Mold thrives on moisture and reproduces through lightweight spores that travel through the air. Small amounts are usually harmless, if they land on a damp spot in your house it can start to grow.
