Post a picture, there's a big difference between mold and moss. Mold is actually bad for your health, while people actually encourage moss as a decorative plant.
You might want to make sure that you don't have lawn grubs in the dead spots. A garden center or extension service should have the information you need to understand what the source of that problem is. It could even be a dog who has done his business on that spot one too many times.
Green mold where lawn should be is VERY unlikely. It is probably moss. That is not a problem!!! It is a lot easier to maintain than grass!
Probably algae. How to control/rid moss, mold or algae. Go to your garden center and get some Bayers Moss/Algae control. The area needs to be aerated, the cause is constant moisture with too much humus build up. You have a fungus amongst you.
OP google moss, algae controls and read all about it.
