What type of mold generally grows in refrigerators when they are 
left closed and turned off?  What is the best way to clean up the 
mold so that the refrigerator can be used to store food again?  
Is there any danger in using the refrigerator again?  Can the 
hyphae(or any other part) of the mold penetrate the plastic?
Thank you for your help.
