'''Sticky mold''' is an [[obstacle]] in {{p4}}. It is a circular patch of yellowish mold on the ground that greatly hinders movement. While on sticky mold, [[leader]]s, [[Oatchi]], and most [[Pikmin]] will be drastically slowed down and cannot [[carry]] objects. Only [[Winged Pikmin]] are unaffected, as they fly over the mold instead of touching it. [[Glow Pikmin]] are able to move at full speed but remain unable to carry things through the mold. The [[Gunk Busters]] can render leaders and Oatchi immune to the slowdown effect, but not the carry-blocking effect. Enemies will walk over sticky mold unhindered, but in night expeditions, they will not cross them to reach the [[Lumiknoll]].

Sticky mold is maintained by [[Spotcap|mushrooms]], which may or may not be [[poison]]ous. Destroying all mushrooms attached to a piece of mold will make the mold disappear. The [[Toxstool]] is able to use its spores to regenerate patches of sticky mold with poison mushrooms.

Some patches of sticky mold conceal and block [[treasure]]s or other features, such as [[Candypop Bud]]s or the exit of a [[cave]] floor. Destroying the mold will free whatever is underneath.
