Some people do have problems with molds in the clays but it's not that
common. 

I have run into really smelly clay in the recycling buckets. I put some
bleach in the bucket and the smell is goes away.

<excerpt>I always thought mold was good in clay. In fact  in China ,I
heard that they ( in the past) had buried clay  for many many years and
that clay was treasured. 

When I have opened bags of new clay I have found mold. I do not think it
is that big a deal. Numo- where are you? I know you will know the answer
to this one.
