Crawl spaces and basements that are wet and damp will quickly encourage the growth of mold. Mold spores in the air can also aggravate allergies in susceptible family members or guests. The easiest method to prevent mold in a basement or crawl space is to keep it dry.
Mold generally grows in crawl spaces and basements as a result of excessive humidity or water penetration. Relative humidity of 35–50% should be sustained whenever possible in every basement. Mold will begin to form on wood, paper, leather, and other organic materials when the relative humidity is consistently above 60%.
Aspergillus/Penicillium is the type of basement mold that is most prevalent. These two varieties of mold, which frequently appear together on mold reports and have extremely similar structural characteristics.

How Does Mold Spread From The Crawl Space To The Inside Your House?
A home’s basement and first living level are separated by a number of openings that make it easier for air to move between the two floors.
