The growth rate of mold can vary depending on several factors, including the type of mold, the environmental conditions, and the availability of nutrients. In general, mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours in a moist and warm environment.
Under optimal conditions, certain types of mold can grow and spread quickly. For example, the common bread mold, Rhizopus stolonifer, can grow up to 1 centimeter per day at temperatures around 25°C (77°F) and high humidity levels.
Other types of mold, such as Aspergillus and Penicillium, may grow more slowly but can still cause significant damage to indoor environments and pose health risks to people with allergies or weakened immune systems.
It’s important to address any moisture issues in your home or workplace promptly to prevent mold growth and seek professional help if you suspect a mold infestation.
