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.
Mildew can be described as a specific type of mold. Mold is a fungus that contains multiple identical nuclei and grows in the form of filaments or hyphae which penetrate beneath the surface of the affected material. Mildew, on the other hand, has flat growth that remains on the surface.
