Some common molds are:

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