Common Types of Mold Found in Homes

Aspergillus

Aspergillus is a common indoor mold found worldwide. Inhaling its spores can cause allergic aspergillosis, leading to symptoms such as high fever, asthma attacks, and coughing up blood and mucus.

Cladosporium

Cladosporium grows in both warm and cool areas, often on fabrics like carpets and wood surfaces. It can cause various respiratory problems.

Chaetomium

Chaetomium is prevalent in damp buildings, growing on water-damaged materials such as wallpaper, drywall, window frames, baseboards, and carpets. It produces cellulase, an enzyme that breaks down cellulose, causing structural damage.

Ulocladium

Ulocladium thrives in areas with extensive water damage, such as homes that have been flooded. It grows on wet walls and is known to cause allergies.

Fusarium

Fusarium can grow at lower temperatures and is often found on water-damaged carpeting and fabrics. It can cause allergic reactions, asthma, and respiratory infections, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems.

Penicillium

Penicillium grows on water-damaged materials, including carpeting, wallpaper, insulation, and furnishings. It spreads quickly and can cause allergic reactions, chronic sinus infections, and lung inflammation.

Stachybotrys

Commonly known as “black mold,” Stachybotrys has a slimy black appearance and a musty odor. It grows in consistently damp areas, like air conditioning ducts or around leaky pipes. Exposure can lead to allergic reactions, respiratory problems, chronic sinus infections, asthma attacks, fatigue, and depression.

Efflorescence vs. Mold

Efflorescence, a crystalline, salty deposit often found on brick, concrete, and masonry surfaces, is frequently mistaken for white mold in basements. It results from water seeping through these materials and leaving mineral deposits behind.
