The smell associated with mold derives from mycotoxin gasses, which are called microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOC). Some molds and mycotoxins produce different MVOCs depending on conditions such as how much moisture is available and what material the mold is growing on. However MVOCs are only produced at all when mold is actively growing.
