Both mold and mildew are fungal growths that can cause property damage and health issues, but mold is generally considered more severe and hazardous. While mildew typically stays on surface areas, appearing as a powdery gray or white growth that is easy to wipe away, mold can penetrate deep into porous building materials like drywall and wood, releasing toxic mycotoxins that pose significant respiratory and neurological health risks.
