The Fungus Among Us

Mold is a common fungus that can be found almost anywhere. Children’s playhouses, sheds, bathtubs, sinks, basements and more; mold has the ability to grow in many different areas. Mold occurs where there are water leaks, and can also appear because of humidity or from flooding problems. Mold has to get its “food” from feeding off of dead organic matter. Mold is actually beneficial when outside because it decomposes organic materials. Growth can occur inside as well on materials like paper, cardboard, wood, drywall, paints and fabric. Although there are a lot of different types of molds, not one of them will grow where there isn’t any water or moisture.
