Mildew
Mildew is a fungus. It grows most extensively in warm, humid environments. Most growth occurs at temperatures of 75 degrees to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Mildew fungi can be distinguished from dirt by placing a drop of fresh liquid chlorine bleach on the area in question. If the discoloration is mildew, the spot will fade or disappear.
