Molds are a group of fungi called  Hyphomycetes , which are chracterized with having filamentous hyphae, and producing airborne spores or conidia (asexual propagules). In nature, molds are decomposers to recycle nature's organic wastes. In medicine, they are the producers of antibiotics. Fungi are a glomeration of organisms in a separate taxanomic kingdom, in which they differ from Monera (Bacteria), Protista (single-cell eucaryotes mostly), Plants and Animals.
Mold is a fungus that grows where thereâs moisture. A good temperature (the same temperature range people prefer) and a food source are helpful, but the moisture is the real problem. All homes have spores floating around in the air, but homes with excess humidity are more likely to develop a fungal problem.
