Yes, light can affect the growth of mold. Mold typically thrives in dark, damp environments. Exposure to light can inhibit the growth of mold by disrupting its reproductive cycle and reducing its ability to spread. However, the impact of light on mold growth can vary depending on the type of mold and other environmental factors.
No, mold cannot grow on copper surfaces because copper has antimicrobial properties that inhibit the growth of mold.
Hydrogen peroxide is effective for killing mold because it has antifungal properties that can help eliminate mold spores. It can be a good option for cleaning and disinfecting mold-infested areas.
Corn starch itself does not promote mold growth because it is essentially pure starch with low moisture content. However, if corn starch comes into contact with moisture and remains damp for an extended period of time, it can potentially develop mold. Proper storage in airtight containers in a cool, dry place can help prevent mold growth on corn starch.
Corn molds primarily due to the presence of moisture, warmth, and inadequate ventilation, which create an ideal environment for mold spores to thrive. Fungal pathogens, such as Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium, can infect corn during growth, harvest, or storage. Additionally, physical damage to the kernels can increase susceptibility to mold. Proper drying and storage conditions are essential to prevent mold growth on corn.

Stale corn muffins will be dry and hard, and unpleasant to eat. OTOH, if stored with too much moisture, muffins may spoil, growing mold. These would have a sticky, slimy feel on the outside, and smell nasty.
Corn on the cob is not inherently bad for birds, but it should be offered in moderation. While many birds enjoy eating corn, it can be high in carbohydrates and may not provide a balanced diet if fed excessively. Additionally, it's important to ensure that the corn is free from pesticides or mold, which can be harmful to birds. Always consult with an avian veterinarian for specific dietary recommendations for your birds.
