you did the right thing, mold dies without water.

Good thing our air doesn't have shite tons of it in it.

Wood exposed to air with a RH of about 90% will reach a Wood Moisture Content of about 20%. Above 90% RH or 20% WMC, mold can grow on the wood. Decay fungi need liquid water to grow. Once wood is dried below about 28% WMC, water is not available to support decay, unless the wood is exposed to liquid water.




Our humid southern air is not sufficient for mold to grow and survive without an additional water source
