Once the hypha finds a suitable surface with the requisite moisture, it puts down roots to absorb nutrients from the underlying organic materials. As a result, the hypha multiplies into a mass called a mycelium, which is when mold becomes visible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">\u2022 Eventually some of the hyphae develop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/blog\/2019\/03\/18\/the-problem-with-mold-is-the-airborne-spores\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spores, which are the reproductive elements of mold<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">\u2022 Spores are released into the atmosphere, where they drift until they find another spot conducive to mold development.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">\u2022 After the spores settle, the cycle comes full circle and continues to repeat itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interrupting the Mold Life Cycle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Simply wiping down a mold-infested surface is as useless as cutting back the visible part of weeds.
