What are some ways to prevents mold growth in my room?

I live in the (finished) basement of my house. My bed sits in a corner, because my room is slightly small. Underneath the bed, for some reason unbeknownst to me, it s always humid and wet, and there s a high level of condensation. Because of this, there s always mold under there. I m cleaning it up as often as I can, but it s becoming tiresome. How can I stop this moisture, and prevent mold growth?

(Note: The mold is not growing on my bed, just the wall and the heating vent underneath it)

    Reduce the humidity and increase the air circulation. It's growing under the bed because there is poor air circulation there so it stays more humid. Move the bed away from the wall, or raise it. get a dehumidifier. Using a fan might help.
