How is the entire earth not covered in slimy mold and other bacteria?

It takes 3 days or less for some food leftovers or even just wet spots on wood in room temperature to start growing a good amount of bacteria all over it, so how is it that like all of the ground and other organic material out in the elements aren’t completely covered in mold and algae after billions of years?

When it rains you inhale millions of spores and not know it. Your lungs just filter it out. Mold is everywhere and on everything. It just needs the right conditions to grow and spread. Temps above 50 degrees f and humidity above 55. Your house and everything in it are covered in mold. They are just dormant because it is too dry.
