Molds are microscopic, plant-like organisms, composed of long filaments called hyphae. Mold hyphae grow over the surface and inside nearly all substances of plant or animal origin. Because of their filamentous construction and consistent lack of chlorophyll they are considered by most biologists to be separate from the plant kingdom and members of the kingdom of fungi. They are related to the familiar mushrooms and toadstools, differing only in not having their filaments united into large fruiting structures.
Molds reproduce by spores. Spores are like seeds; they germinate to produce a new
mold colony when they land in a suitable place. Some people are allergic to mold
spores.
If there is a lot of mold in your system it is an indication of overfeeding. Remove some
of the moldy food and only feed your worms what they can easily consume in a week.
