A few common household molds are:

  • Penicillium – This mold most commonly grows on wallpaper, wallpaper glue, decaying fabrics, carpets and fiberglass insulation. Penicillium will cause hay-fever type reactions and induces asthma attacks.
  • Aspergillus – This is a warm weather mold that thrives both outdoors and indoors. It can be found in areas of extreme dampness and extensive water damage, as well as decomposing organic matter. Aspergillus can also found in dust and produces mycotoxins.
  • Alternaria – This mold is commonly found in textiles, dust, carpet, showers, soil and window frames. This is a large spore mold that deposits in soft tissue, like the nose, mouth and respiratory tract.
  • Cladosporium – This is the most commonly identified outdoor fungi that enters homes. It thrives in porous, overtly moist areas like wood and textiles. Both the indoor and outdoor variety cause asthma attacks and induces hay-fever like reactions.
  • Stachybotrys – Being the least rampant household mold is fortunate, as it is among the more terrible. It needs excessive moisture to grow, and causes breathing issues, flu-like symptoms, loss of hearing and memory, and bleeding in the lungs.
  • Acremonium – This toxic mold grown in areas of condensation like humidifiers, drain pans, window sealants and cooling coils. It’s a powdery mold that grows in an array of colors like grey, orange, pink and white.
  • Aureobasidium – This kind of mold is often discovered growing behind painted wood surfaces and wallpaper. It begins light brown or pink in color then deepens to dark brown-black as it ages. This highly allergic responsive mold is responsible for causing skin rashes and eye infections.
  • Chaetomium – Chaetomium can be located in residences after a flood or leaking and in chronically damp conditions. It carries a dank odor, cotton like texture and changes colors from white to brown or grey as it ages. Chaetomium is also known to produce mycotoxins that affect the immune system, causing nail and skin infections.
  • Cladosporium – This unique mold grows in both cold and warm areas and spreads rapidly on fabric, upholstery, under floorboards and in carpets. It has a strong reaction with wet tissues in the eyes, nose, mouth and throat.
  • Fusarium – This mold is commonly found in a home’s soft goods and thrives and spreads in cold temperatures. A reddish variety is found in organic products like food and house plants, and both strains can move rapidly through a home. Symptoms from this mold start out as a sore throat, runny eyes and skin infections then can progress to bone infections and brain abscesses.
  • Trichoderma – This is a highly allergic mold with 5 subspecies. This rapid growth mold has a wool like texture and is mostly green and white. It does well in consistently damp and moist areas like HVAC systems, wood and fabric. Along with health symptoms the same as other mycotoxins, this mold also destroys the surfaces it grows on, causing decay and structures to crumble.
  • Ulocladium – This mold is nearly always found in kitchens and bathrooms. It is one of the black molds and contributes to respiratory ailments and asthma.
