Molds can grow inside a refrigerator. They can do better at high temperatures. Moisture is the key.

Mold requires moisture, although some mold species can obtain that moisture from moist air when the relative humidity is above 70 percent. Many molds thrive at normal indoor temperatures; few if any molds are able to grow below 40 F or above 100 F. Outside this range molds may remain dormant or inactive; they may begin to grow again when the temperature is more favorable. Temperatures well above 100 F will kill mold and mold spores. Did you know that mold grows on bread but not on toast!
To answer your question the best temperature for mold growth is 80 degrees.
