this is NOT mold. Silver reacts with sulphur which is in the air. The more you use your silver the less it will tarnish also. here's a link that might explain it better.
Tarnish is what happens to silver when silver becomes silver sulfide. You can see this by looking at silver and looking for a dark black color. This happens when the sulfide in the spoon or metal reacts with the air around it. Here is the wikipedia link to silver and there are alot of different tabs you can click on to find out more.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver

Silver should never tarnish. If it does then I would assume it's fake.

It's just like iron oxidising. It is not mould.
