Is there anything usefull for Black Mold besides bad for humans?

All I know is that black mold is yummy for some types on NEEDFULL plants, that desserts cannot harm, but the mold must be put under the sand for it to work.

  1. no doubt

  2. First you have to see that the term “black mold” doesn’t describe one specific type of fungus, but a whole group that’s been tossed together because they look alike. They can have completely different properties from each other. Some are harmless and others are dangerous to humans. Some might even be useful. You’d probably need a specialist to tell you exactly what species of mold you’re dealing with if you find some in your house.

    In nature, most molds function in biodegradation, meaning they break up the remains of dead plants and animals and ultimately turn them back into soil. As such, they’re part of nature’s waste diposal. If it weren’t for them and other creatures like them, the world would be littered with refuse. Some molds are useful in processing foods like cheese, and others produce antibiotics like penicillin or other pharmaceutically useful substances. So depending on the type of mold they can be very useful :)
