Can Water Grow Mould?

One of our website visitors wondered if mould can grow in water. Mould can grow in water and if the water is rich in nutrients, the mould will form a mat on the surface of standing water and produce spores. If the water contains little or no nutrients, then the initial growth would die for lack of nutrients.

There are some moulds that thrive well only in water. For more information about mould, contact us at (905)290-9101.
