16 | MAY'S WAYS:
Moisture, Moisture Everywhere by Jeffrey May
Fungi require moisture.
Microfungi, commonly
called "mold," grow in
colonies and fan out along
a surface. These organisms
subsist on biodegradable
surface materials that
include dust, oils, fats,
starches, wood sugars,
pet-dander particles, and
skin scales. While most
microfungi do not degrade wood, they produce large
numbers of spores that can impact human health.
