Types of Mold

There are 3 basic species of mold:

  • Allergenic: These cause and produce allergic reactions.
  • Pathogenic: Molds that cause health issues in people who suffer from acute illnesses.
  • Toxigenic: Any mold that produce toxic microbes.
With the variety of molds that can be found in homes, having an expert to investigate and diagnosis the extent of their spread is key to eradicating it. An expert with Paul Davis will aid with getting your house free and safe from the most damaging molds. A few common 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 that thrives indoors and outdoors. Aspergillus can be found in areas of extreme dampness and extensive water damage, as well as decomposing organic matter. Aspergillus can also found inside of dust and produces mycotoxins.
  • Alternaria - This mold is often found 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 which enters homes. It grows in porous, overtly moist locations such as textile and wood. Both the indoor and outdoor variety bring about asthma attacks as well as induces hay-fever like reactions.
  • Stachybotrys - This particularly insidious mold that produces high levels of airborne toxins, luckily is a less common household mold. Stachybotrys requires excessive damp to thrive, and causes breathing issues, flu-like symptoms, hearing and memory loss, and bleeding in the lungs.
  • Acremonium - This toxic mold thrives in areas of condensation such as cooling coils, humidifiers, drain pans, and window sealants. It's a powdery mold that thrives in a selection of colors like grey, orange, pink and white.
  • Aureobasidium - Aureobasidium is often found growing behind painted wood surfaces and wallpaper. It begins pink or light brown in color then deepens to dark brown-black as it ages. This is a highly responsive allergic mold, responsible for skin rashes and eye infections.
  • Chaetomium - This mold can be located in residences after flooding or leaking and in chronically moist conditions. It has a cottony texture, changes colors from white to brown or grey over time and carries a dank odor. Chaetomium is known to produce mycotoxins that affect the immune system, causing nail and skin infections.
  • Cladosporium - Cladosporium thrives in cold and warm environments and moves quickly on upholstery, fabrics, carpets and under floorboards. It reacts adversely with wet tissues in eyes, nose, mouth and throat.
  • Fusarium - Capable of growing and migrating in colder weather, this mold is pink or coral colored and is commonly found in soft goods. A reddish variety is found in organic products like house plants, and both strains can move quickly through a home. Symptoms from this mold begin as a sore throat, runny eyes and skin infections and progresses to brain abscesses and bone infections.
  • Trichoderma - Trichoderma is a highly allergic mold with 5 subspecies. This rapid growth mold has a wool like texture that is mostly white and green. It grows in consistently damp and moist areas like HVAC systems, wood and fabric. Along with health symptoms the same as other mycotoxins, Trichoderma also destroys the surfaces it inhabits, causing decay and structures to crumble.
  • Ulocladium - This mold is mostly found in kitchens and bathrooms. It is one of the black molds that contributes to asthma and respiratory ailments.
