Molds are part of the class of monster represented by the overall symbol F, in addition to lichens, violet fungi, and shriekers. They come in several colors, and each possesses a specific passive attack. If you lack the correct resistance, it is best to let your pet attack the mold or attack it with a ranged weapon.

The molds are as follows:

Mold color Attacking it...
yellow causes stun
red makes you feel hot
brown makes you feel cold
green causes acid damage
black (Slash'EM only) releases poisonous spores

In both NetHack and SLASH'EM, the mold sometimes leaves a corpse. In SLASH'EM, the corpse might revive itself ("The yellow mold rises from the dead!"). Also in Slash'EM, molds may grow on rotting corpses, taking the name of the corpse if it is named (which can result in some unexpected messages, especially in graveyards).
