Molds: Molds, or multicellular filamentous fungi, are a diverse group that can be found in the divisions Zygomycota and Ascomycota. They grow in the form of hyphae, resulting in a fuzzy, discolored appearance, commonly seen on expired food. The hyphae network, or mycelium, is considered a single organism, often appearing as fine, fluffy white threads. Molds produce asexual spores, contributing to their dusty texture. They play significant roles in biotechnology, food science, and can cause diseases in humans and animals, often due to allergic reactions, internal growth, or toxic compounds ingestion. Their biodegrading nature, leading to material damage, makes mold removal vital in property maintenance, a service provided by Bio Clean of Utah.
