• Description:
  "comfortable" temperature (often the same temperature humans like) + Food + Water (moisture) = Mold Growth. Mold can grown in almost any temperature! Different types of mold grow in different temperatures. Food sources can be anything organic! (ex. wallboard, fabrics, dusts trapped in other materials (carpet)). All you need is water! For some mold, the tiny droplets that form on cold windows is enough! [Description provided by NIOSH]
