No. However, if mold has been growing then just drying the area and/or allowing sunlight to hit it does not kill the mold spores. The spores are dormant reproductive agents of the mold which allow it to regrow when conditions are right. The next time it is moist the mold will regrow. Mold is endemic (everywhere) in the atmosphere.

Does mold need to be in a dark place to grow?
No , it is not essential .
Does mold need oxygen to grow?
Mold (fungi in general) require oxygen to grow, but they do not breath in the sense that you and I breath.
Were does bread mold grow faster in the dark or light?
Yes, mold does grow better in the dark. Since mold does not produce it,s own food using photosynthesis as other plant do, it does not need as much sun-light. Hope this helps to answer this question! P.S. I only know this because I'm doing a science fair project on the topic of bread mold!
Why does mold grow in the sun better on bread?
It doesn't. Mold grows best in dark damp places.
What is the hypothesis for the question about Does mold grow faster in the light of day or in the dark?
If light from the day comes in contact with mold, then mold will grow faster. (There are more variables that could affect the growth such as the sun because we know that without sun, plants and every other living organism couldn't survive, which also coincides with temperature.)
Does mold grow faster in the light or dark?
Mold can grow better in the light because when fruits get into the dark they can spoil faster and get soft/ugly
Does mold grow fastest in the light?
No
Does mold grow faster on apples in light or dark places?
Mold usually grows on things in the dark because the light prevents the mold from growing. Mold will grow very slow when put in the sun but in the dark, it will grow faster! :)
What is the effect of light on mold growth?
Mold grows best in dark areas but it must have some light exposure. when it is exposed to light completely the mold dows not grow very well
Does mold need warmth to grow?
Yes
How does light affect the growth of mold?
Mold needs moisture, heat, and food. All three conditions are necessary for it to grow. Mold is most likely to find a place to grow in a bathroom, basement or kitchen, but in this situation we are in a kitchen, and outdoors. Mold spores can grow and spread in wet or damp areas that have had flooding. and the light will either dry out the mold and eventually kill it.
Where will mold grow faster on bread in a dark area or an light area?
light area
What does bread need to mold?
nothing. just leave it some where for a while and it will grow mold!
Does mold need to be in a dark place to grow?
No , it is not essential .
Does mold need oxygen to grow?
Mold (fungi in general) require oxygen to grow, but they do not breath in the sense that you and I breath.
How does the amount of light affect the growth?
Mold needs moisture, heat, and food. All three conditions are necessary for it to grow. Mold is most likely to find a place to grow in a bathroom, basement or kitchen, but in this situation we are in a kitchen, and outdoors. Mold spores can grow and spread in wet or damp areas that have had flooding. and the light will either dry out the mold and eventually kill it.
Why does mold grow best when warm?
Because the higher the temperature is, the more moisture can be held in the air, and mold spores need a wet environment to grow.
