This might be true if there is existing live mold somewhere in the toilet (for that, monthly tank bleach tablet) but otherwise a lid prevents spores from settling in the first place.

Humidity reduction by ventilation can slow/delay mold but only eradication stops it.

Well they’re on a well with a septic tank which means no chlorine in the water and they wouldn’t want put a bleach tab in because of the septic. But I agree it would be good to eradicate it if possible.

Even with the lid down there are thousands of spores down there. It doesn’t need constant airflow to have spores, all air is filled with spores.
