Some common household molds are:

  • Penicillium – This mold most commonly grows on wallpaper, wallpaper glue, decaying fabrics, carpets and fiberglass insulation. It causes hay-fever like reactions and induces asthma attacks.
  • Aspergillus – This is a warm environment mold which grows indoors and outdoors. It can be located in areas that are excessively damp with extensive water damage, as well as decomposing organic matter. Aspergillus can also found in dust and produces mycotoxins.
  • Alternaria – This mold is often located in textiles, dust, carpet, showers, soil and window frames. This large spore mold takes traction in the mouth, nose and respiratory tract.
  • Cladosporium – Cladosporium is the highest commonly identified outdoor mold easily enters homes. It thrives in overtly moist, porous areas like wood and textiles. The indoor and outdoor strains cause asthma attacks and induces hay-fever like reactions.
  • Stachybotrys – Being a less common household mold is lucky, as it is among the more horrible. 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. This is a powdery mold that grows in an array of colors like grey, orange, pink and white.
  • Aureobasidium – Aureobasidium is often found growing behind wallpaper and painted wood surfaces. It starts out pink or light brown in color then deepens to dark brown-black the older it is. This is a highly responsive allergic mold, responsible for eye infections and skin rashes.
  • Chaetomium – Chaetomium is found in residences after flooding or leaking and in chronically moist conditions. It has a dank odor, cotton like texture and changes colors from white to grey or brown over time. Chaetomium is known to produce mycotoxins which affect the immune system, causing nail and skin infections.
  • Cladosporium – This unique mold grows in warm and cold environments and migrates rapidly on upholstery, fabrics, carpets and under floorboards. It reacts strongly with wet tissues like the eyes, nose, mouth and throat.
  • Fusarium – Fusarium is commonly located in a home’s soft goods and grows and migrates in cold weather. A reddish strain is found in organic products like house plants, and both strains can move rapidly through a home. Symptoms begin as skin infections, sore throat and runny eyes then progresses to bone infections and brain abscesses.
  • Trichoderma – Trichoderma is a highly allergic mold with 5 subspecies. This rapid growth mold has a wool like texture and is mostly white and green. It thrives in consistently damp and moist areas like HVAC systems, upholstery and wood. Along with health symptoms the same as other mycotoxins, Trichoderma also destroys the surfaces it inhabits, causing decay and structures to crumble.
  • Ulocladium – Ulocladium is mostly located in kitchens and bathrooms. It is one of the black molds and contributes to respiratory illnesses and asthma.
