Brown moldEdit

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 moldEdit

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

Red moldEdit

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 moldEdit

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

StrategyEdit

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'EMEdit

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).

SporkhackEdit

Grey moldEdit

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.
