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. All molds are sessile.

Brown mold

The brown mold's passive attack causes cold damage.

Eating a brown mold corpse is harmless and has a 3% chance to grant you poison resistance or cold resistance.

Repeatedly attacking a brown mold can cause it to multiply due to your body heat.

Green mold

The green mold's passive attack causes acid damage. The corpse of a green mold is acidic when eaten.

Red mold

The red mold's passive attack causes fire damage. Eating a red mold corpse is harmless and has a 3% chance to grant you poison resistance or fire resistance.

Yellow mold

The passive attack of the yellow mold stuns you for (level + 1)d4 turns. Its corpse is poisonous and hallucinogenic if eaten.

Strategy

If you lack the resistance required to neutralise the passive attack, it is best to let your pet attack the mold, attack it with a ranged weapon, or leave it alone. Molds will never move or actively attack you. You could also let your pet take it out but make sure they are strong enough to do so.

SLASH'EM

Main article: Mold (SLASH'EM)

SLASH'EM features two new types of mold: the black mold and the disgusting mold. Their passive attack causes poison damage by way of spores; a nonbreathing character will be unaffected.

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).

Sporkhack

Grey mold

Attacking the grey mold will likely cause it to release spores and give you a fatal Illness. Only seen in Sporkhack so far. Signified with F.

Encyclopedia entry

Mold, multicellular organism of the division Fungi, typified
by plant bodies composed of a network of cottony filaments.
The colors of molds are due to spores borne on the filaments.
Most molds are saprophytes. Some species (e.g., penicillium)
are used in making cheese and antibiotics.
