      The appearance of mold at home is a signal of increased humidity or dampness. Thus, mold of the genus Cladosporium differs in that it can grow at lower temperatures: on windows or in the refrigerator. Fungi of the genus Stachybotrys are called "black mold". They grow on materials containing cellulose: wood, drywall, wallpaper, paper, and books. Especially when these items are moistened.
