No. Some cheeses such as Blue Cheese, Camembert and Brie make use of non-poisonous mould for taste or aesthetic purposes, though not all cheeses contain mould.

Yes cheese does have mold in it. It gets the mold because cheese has milk in it. They let the milk sit out for a while before they use it therefore cheese does have mold in it.

Some cheeses have a form of mold that grows in them. Most of these are what's called the blue varieties. Cheddar is not one of them.

What ingredients in cheese make mold?

The cheeses with mold include those with a white, dusty looking covering, and those veined with blue or green. Cheeses covered with whitish dust have a mold called Penicillium camemberti on them. These cheeses include brie camambert and other similar cheeses. Cheeses veined with blue or green usually have a mold called Penicillium roqueforti, and these include roquefort, ordinary blue cheese, Danish blue cheese, and some types of gorgonzola. Traditional gorgonzola is made with Penicillium glaucum. Any cheese can get moldy, but this is not what is supposed to happen. Cheeses such as cheddar, colby, Swiss, gouda, and so on, should not have mold. These cheeses are often protected by a covering of wax, a rind, or a plastic package to prevent air from getting to the cheese. Any cheese that has access to even the tiniest amount of air can get moldy.

Will cheese grow mold faster in the shade?

The very short answer is yes and soft cheeses develop mold faster than hard cheeses or processed cheeses. Molds thrive in dark moist climates so a shaded area is ideal for grow mold. But now we have to distinguish between mold we want and mold we don't. The mold that makes a cheese blue, Stilton, Maytag blue, Gorgonzola, Roquefort is no longer a hoped for occurrence but carefully controlled through cultivation of specific molds.Soft or semi soft cheeses that have a rind like Brie are also carefully inoculated with a specific and perfectly edible mold that protects and ripens the cheese. Bad molds are the ones you didn't want on your sharp cheddar that got shoved to the back of the refrigerator after being opened.
