Whether someone can do ice damage to it or not is irrelevant as far as its growth goes; there's no reason to assume it can only double in size once per round from the description. That would be a good fix for the exploding physics-shattering mold apocalypse scenario and is probably mandatory if you are going to play any D&D game where the plane of fire is supposed to exist.
The ice damage issue becomes relevant when we start deciding whether or not the mold counts as a single organism that is destroyed in entirety if it takes any cold damage whatsoever. That seems kind of illogical, but then, so does FTL-expanding heat-sucking mold.
I think you also have to decide that the mold does not grow more than an inch or so from a solid surface and that therefore its growth is in terms of surface are covered, not volume. The alternative is giant mold cubes everywhere ("everywhere" being nearly literal in the plane of fire scenario).
Assuming you can't just find it lying around, how do you even make this stuff? Is it summonable somehow? Can you conjure brown mold with major creation or whatever?
Does anyone else want to build a brown mold golem now?

A weird question:
Let's say someone tried dropping some Brown Mold into the Plane of Fire a while back, and for the sake of argument let's say it only doubled in size once per round instead of infinitely in one round.
What defense would there be against this tactic? And how would you stop it from happening again?

In this moment, I am Ur-phoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my int score.
Shoot a ray of frost at it.
Make a shitton of traps that shoot rays of frost and disperse them throughout the region that you're protecting.

One every mile or so, out of the way and with a ton of warning signs.

That...actually makes sense. And they could offer up another Wish as payment for services rendered.Archmage wrote:Efreet go locate a sentient non-efreet denizen of the plane and suggest that they make the following wish: "I wish there were no brown mold on this plane."
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.
