Jell-O molds make most people happy. Seafood served in a lobster shape on the buffet table makes the dish fun. Fruit cocktail in a Bundt-shaped green mold is a classic at any potluck. "Watch it wiggle, see it jiggle--"

There's always room for Jell-O, but what if the mold in your house is not Jell-O brand gelatin?

Molds are a category in the fungi family, but the words are often used interchangeably. We all know mold and mildew: in the tub you were supposed to have cleaned over a month ago, on week-old bread, behind the headboard in grandma's house with no AC, on stored ice-hockey gear. (As a figure skater, I can tell when the ice hockey players walk in the rink because their gear smells like death.)
