Mold and Mildew
Mold is a type of fungi, and is usually associated with things decomposing. Mold can be dangerous, or it can be helpful. Some medications are made from types of mold. Mildew is a fuzzy fungal growth. It tends to grow on organic materials, and usually suggests that there has been dampness in the area.
655 Questions
Do mold grow in dry conditions?
Yes, but mold may still continue growing with less moisture than what it takes to germinate mold spores(about 60% RH). Mold also tends to release more spores as it dries out which aids in "spreading the colony" so to speak. This is one of the reasons a removal or cleaning of mold is recommended along with preventing the moisture which caused it to grow in the first place. Moisture prevention is #1 but cleaning is also beneficial, especially to those few who may have allergic reactions to the mold.
Powdery Mildew is a common fungal problem found on a number plants.
The fungus is cosmopolitan and found where ever conditions are favourable for development: damp foilage, poor air circulation, soft tissue or plants under stress. Development of the fungus can be prevented by remedial action to the above conditions or by applying a suitable fungicide. Normally copper-based fungicides are used for grapes.

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.

What causes mold taste in mouth?
Honestly i dont think it really has a taste. one time i had black mold spots on my tea bags but i didn't know what it was so i brewed it anyway. the tea tasted just the same to me. i brewed the mold - moldy tea! gross, but it seemed fine and had no ill effects. i wouldn't do it again though, since mold is toxic.
Actually, cottage cheese can get moldy. I have seen pink, green and black molds growing on cottage cheese that was forgotten in the fridge.
