Yes, mold can grow in alcohol, it actually grows quite well! Bacteria on the other hand, does not. Many people find particulate matter in bottles of vodka which are 40% alcohol and think it must be bacteria, but what they are actually seeing is mold in different stages of growth. Alcohol breeds mold so well (due in large part to its high sugar content) that it can be used as a growth medium for many molds!!

TaigaMold typically does not grow in alcohol due to its high alcohol content. The presence of alcohol creates an environment that is not conducive to mold growth. However, if the alcohol content is low or if there is any introduction of contaminants, mold can potentially grow in alcohol.

Does mold need oxygen to grow?
No, mold does not require oxygen to grow. Mold spores can thrive in environments with low oxygen levels.
Does mold grow in warm?
No, mold has to grow in warm, dark and moist places because mold multiplies itself with the use of water which gives it the ability to expand and grow.
Can mold grow in human blood?
No, mold cannot grow in human blood. Mold requires organic material, moisture, and oxygen to grow, and blood does not provide the necessary conditions for mold growth. Mold typically grows on surfaces like food, fabric, and building materials.
Why does mold not grow on stone or glass?
Mold requires organic matter to grow, such as wood or paper, as a food source. Stone and glass do not provide the nutrients that mold needs to thrive, which is why mold does not typically grow on these materials. Additionally, the smooth surface of glass and stone makes it difficult for mold to attach and grow.
