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.
Mold (fungi in general) require oxygen to grow, but they do not breath in the sense that you and I breath.
No , it is not essential .
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!
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.)
Moulds are funghi. Funghi are not plants but are an type of organism in their own right. Unlike plants they do not photosynthesise, but respire, like us humans do. This means they get their energy from the organic matter that surrounds them (they release enzymes and then absorb sugar etc- kind of like eating) THEREFORE, the rate of growth has nothing to do with light levels.
Mold can grow better in the light because when fruits get into the dark they can spoil faster and get soft/ugly

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.
light area
nothing. just leave it some where for a while and it will grow mold!

Mold grows faster in dark places because light inhibits its growth. Placing apples in a dark environment can promote faster mold growth compared to placing them in a well-lit area.
Light can have varying effects on mold growth depending on the type of mold. Some molds thrive in darkness and will grow more rapidly in low-light conditions, while others require some amount of light to grow. Ultraviolet (UV) light can inhibit mold growth by damaging its DNA and cell structure. However, visible light may not have as significant of an impact on mold growth.

Mold does not require carbon dioxide to grow. It primarily needs moisture and organic material to thrive. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of mold growth, but its presence is not necessary for mold development.
