Frequently Asked Questions about Toxic Mold

What are molds?

Molds are microscopic fungi that need plant and animal matter in order to grow. It is estimated that there are greater than 100,000 different species of fungi that exist across the world. These thinly spun threaded organisms produce spores that then allow them to spread themselves to different locations. Spores can be spread in the air, through water, or even among insects.

Are molds bad for humans?

Toxic molds can be dangerous and even fatal for susceptible individuals. However, the majority of molds pose little or no health risks to humans. Household molds exist in colors such as red, green, blue-green, brown and black. In fact, there are only two types of household molds that are toxic---Stachybotrys and Memnoniella. For more information on Stachybotrys, refer to the web page of the same name to the left.

What are some of the common indoor molds?

What does household toxic mold grow on?

Toxic mold is often found in damp, moist, or wet places in or around a house or building. Stachybotrys typically grows in damp environments on materials that are high in cellulose and low in nitrogen content. Examples include wallpaper, cardboard, ceiling tile, cellulose insulation, and wood. If the black mold is growing on materials that do not contain cellulose, it is probably not Stachybotrys.
