The cycle can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/blog\/2017\/04\/17\/mold-spores-can-live-for-thousands-of-years-waiting-for-the-right-conditions-to-grow\/\">put on pause for years<\/a>, then restarted when the spores find hospitable conditions again.<\/p>\n<p>The first life stage of mold begins with a tiny filament called a hypha. Hyphae cells go unnoticed by the naked eye. They feed on wood, paper, food, or whatever organic matter they have found.<\/p>\n<p>Matured hyphae then grow larger structures called mycelium, the hairy or fuzzy part of mold that you see. Mycelia extend into the air so their spores can easily spread.<\/p>\n<p>Spores are the asexual reproductive parts of mold\u2014essentially seeds that can grow new hyphae cells and start the process over again whenever the conditions are favorable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Break the Cycle with NYC Mold Removal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Routine cleaning does not stop mold.
