This is nonsense. Fungus and mold takes a while to develop, and most probably that timeframe is not over night in ground coffee (or tea). It is still better to do it in the fridge, because if you put it straight in it's less work and tastes good if you leave it overnight.

Overnight, sure. But I like my extracts/brews super strong. After a couple of days you will get mold growth.

Cold-brewing can reliably be done at food-safe refrigerator temperatures over multiple days, safely. The longest brew I've heard used at any coffee shop is 8 days, though I've never tried more than 5 (usually 1 to 3).

Right, that's what I'm saying. If you try to cold-brew non-refrigerated for more than a day, you'll get mold.
