From the EPA:

Molds are part of the natural environment.* Outdoors, molds play a part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves and dead trees, but indoors, mold growth should be avoided.* Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores; the spores are invisible to the naked eye and float through outdoor and indoor air.* Mold may begin growing indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet.* There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture.
