Home Mold Types 4 Main Groups of Mold

Allergenic Molds are normally not dangerous to humans in low amounts, but they can cause allergic or asthmatic symptoms. Generally, these types of molds can be abated safely with the use of gloves and a disposable particulate-removing respirator.

Mycotoxic Molds can cause serious health problems in humans and animals. These range from short-term irritation to immunosuppression, to cancer and even death. If toxic molds are identified, it is suggested that you seek advice from an Industrial Hygienist or other mold professional for guidance. The average homeowner should NOT attempt the abatement of these types of molds.

Pathogenic Molds can cause serious health effects in persons with suppressed immune systems, those taking chemotherapy, and those with HIV/AIDS, or autoimmunity disorders. If any pathogenic molds are identified, it is suggested that you seek advice from an Industrial Hygienist or other mold professional. The average homeowner should NOT attempt the abatement of this type of molds.

Hyphae & Hyphal elements are single, unidentifiable fragments of mold. Although they might not be traceable to a specific mold species, these fragments can be responsible for allergic reactions in some people and may indicate previous or current growth. Ascospores and basidiospores are clusters of spores that may not be easily identified as a specific species, but may represent a mold problem in the property.
