Yes, molds can be sources of fertilizers in the case of leaf mold. Leaf mold results from containing, moisturizing to the consistency of wrung-out sponges and turning piles of leaves, with little or no nitrogen, for 6 to 12 months. They turn air-poor, compacted, moisture-poor, nutrient-poor grounds into aerated soil whose friability (tendency to crumble, not clump) translates into root- and soil food web-friendly air and moisture pore spaces, moisture infiltration and percolation and nutrient transfer.
