And if all mold spores went extinct suddenly, would the world be better or worse?
In: Biology
Molds help decompose organic matter. When things die, various organisms help break down the remains so that they end up back as nutrients in the soil that can be used by plants. Without molds, it’s possible some other decomposing organism would fill the niche, but it’s hard to say for certain what impact it would have.
