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.
Mold is a moisture-loving fungus made up of spores of various sizes. Some mold spores are as small as 3 microns, while others are as large as 40 microns. Mold spores also vary in color. For instance, mold spores that grow behind wallpaper often have a yellow or pink hue. Mold spores that grow on open walls and tile are usually green, brown and sometimes black. Black mold is often the most worrisome.
