Why is mold black, and why does it stain even if the fungus is killed?

85 viewsBiologyOther

Google yielded no results, and I’ve been curious about this for a while. I have a shirt that is about six years old with some mold at the top of the collar from one lake swimming trip, when I left it in the garage to dry. After six years of washing, bleaching, and sanitizing, that stain is still there. It doesn’t bother me, but I was curious why mold is black and leaves such potent stains.

Wow, I never thought about this before. It’s interesting how something as small as mold can leave such a lasting impact. I hope someone can explain this in simpler terms!
