Why don't spores live in moist environments?

Spores are typically resilient structures designed for survival in harsh conditions, including dry environments. While moisture is essential for germination, excessive moisture can lead to mold growth or fungal competition, which can inhibit spore viability. Additionally, high humidity may promote decay or degradation of the spore structure itself, reducing its chances of successful reproduction. Thus, spores tend to thrive in more controlled, less humid conditions.
