Types of Indoor Mold - Certain molds can produce toxins (specifically mycotoxins) but mold themselves is not toxic or poisonous. There are three classifications of mold: allergenic (low to moderate); pathogenic (moderate to high); and toxigenic (high to extreme). Below are the most common types of molds found indoors:
  • Aspergillus: This common indoor mold grows at an alarmingly fast rate. It appears as green to black flecks or dots and is found in home air conditioning systems, as well as on exposed fruits, vegetables, and grains.
  • Alternaria: Another common indoor mold, Alternaria is found in soil, and on plants, fruits, vegetables, wallpaper, ceiling tiles, window frames, and textiles. If exposed, it could trigger asthma or hay fever.
  • Cladosporium: This mold is commonly found on cooling units, damp building materials, insulation, and decaying plants. While most species are not harmful, some cause an allergic reaction.
  • Chaetomium: This mold has a musty smell. Chaetomium is typically found in water-damaged areas, such as basements, under the carpet, water-logged drywall, or under the roof. It is white-gray to brown in texture and has a cotton-like appearance.
  • Penicillium: This type of mold is used in bleu cheese but when it is found in the home in an allergen state, it's not healthy. Penicillium appears as a velvety blue-green mold near water-damaged areas.
  • Stachybotrys: Also known as black mold, Stachybotrys is known for its dark green to black coloring. It lurks under tiles, behind walls, and in the ceiling. A professional should remove black mold, as it is highly toxic.
