Nobody "discovered" mold. It has been around for eons.
Alexander Fleming discovered that mold can inhibit the growth and spread of bacteria, and subsequently invented penicillin which led to most modern antibiotics.
This discovery was a case of serendipity, as mold from a neighboring scientist's experiment contaminated Fleming's bacteria cultures - at first Fleming was angry, until he realized that the mold was killing his bacteria...
William Yobe discovered mold in 1827 actually Alexander Fleming discovered mold in 1928
Mold has been around for millions of years and likely was first discovered by early humans as a common presence on food that had spoiled. The first recorded observations of mold date back to ancient Egypt and Greece, where it was noted that certain types of mold could be harmful or beneficial to human health.
Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin by observing that mold (Penicillium) had antibacterial properties. He noticed that a mold contaminant in one of his petri dishes was preventing bacterial growth. This led to the development of penicillin, the first antibiotic.
he discovered mold by his shoe
Sir Alexander Fleming I'm not sure what you mean by "the mold"? Sir Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin which is a form of mold. I hope this helps.

it was a mold...
No it is not. Penicillin is grown from mold (Penicillum fungi).
Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928. He noticed that a mold called Penicillium notatum was able to kill bacteria, leading to the development of the first antibiotic.
Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin by studying mold. He noticed that the mold Penicillium notatum had antibacterial properties that could be used to fight infections. This discovery revolutionized medicine and led to the development of the first antibiotic.
Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928. He observed that the mold Penicillium notatum produced a substance that could kill bacteria, leading to the development of the first antibiotic.
Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, the first antibiotic. He discovered it by accident when he noticed that some petri dishes (medium to grow bacteria) had been contaminated -- some mold was growing in them, and around the area of the mold the bacteria wouldn't grow.
