They can, since they literally are competing for the same resources.

I wonder if they would stall the growth of normal mold, like if they have to compete for the same resources or something.

Clean it and spray a mixture of (colorless) vinegar and citrus juice on it. Vinegar dries out (smells only for a few hours) and mold hates sour. And if you have it in the bath, i had success with scrubbing the … joints (? german “Fugen”) with citrus juice and salt and soap (must be dry before). Washing shower curtain and carpet with vinegar helps too if they got it, doesn’t smell.

You should google allelopathy. In addition to competition this is something plants use (and some fungi) to win out.
