How does white mold grow and spread in different environments?

White mold, also known as Sclerotinia, grows and spreads in different environments by producing spores that are carried by the wind or water to new locations. The mold thrives in cool, damp conditions and can infect a variety of plants and crops. Once the spores land on a suitable host, they germinate and begin to grow, forming a white, fluffy mass that can quickly spread throughout the plant or crop.
