A hardcover book from the Sixties (read it in the library).
A probe to Venus returns a sample and it crashes in the (Sahara?) Desert. A caravan comes across it and is consumed by the mold. Later the site is again discovered and the mold carried to the rest of the world where it begins spreading. A crash manned mission is launched to go to Venus and bring back a pathogen or predator of the mold. It almost fails because a workman, exhausted by the 24 hour round shifts to get the rocket launched in time, overlooks some critical defect.
 
"Expedition Venus". it's the fifth of the books in the "Chris Godfrey Of U.N.E.X.A" series by Hugh Walters. A grooup ofyoung astronauts (British, American and Soviet) make expeditions in different books to the Moon, and planets.https://www.fantasticfiction.com/w/hugh-walters/expedition-venus.htm
