Molds include all species of microscopic fungi that grow in the form of multicellular filaments, called hyphae. In contrast, microscopic fungi that grow as single cells are called yeasts. Molds do not form a specific taxonomic or phylogenetic grouping, but can be found in the divisions Zygomycota, Deuteromycota and Ascomycota. Although some molds cause disease or food spoilage, others are useful for their role in biodegradation or in the production of various foods, beverages, antibiotics and enzymes.

Molds are microscopic organisms found virtually everywhere in our environment. It is a type of fungus and part of a group of living organisms that are very common and serve an important role in the environment. Penicillin is a type of mold that has saved many lives.

Some molds can cause problems for humans. Mold can grow on bread and other types of food, making it unfit to eat. Mold can grow on the walls, floors and ceilings of your home as well as on your personal possessions. People often refer to some household molds as mildew, although the term also can apply to molds found outdoors.

Mold or Fungi have defined cell walls, lack chlorophyll and reproduce by means of spores. The study of fungi (mycology) is by no means complete. Mycologists have described an estimated 100,000 species of fungi and many believe that this is only a fraction of what remains to be discovered.
