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.
