Different Types of Mold and How They Look
Mold can arise in areas impacted by water damage or high humidity, and not all mold is the same. Here's a look at the most common types of mold, what they look like, and how to identify them:
1. Black Mold (Stachybotrys chartarum)
Appearance: Slimy or powdery texture; dark black or greenish-black in color.
Common Locations: Found in areas with long-term water exposure, such as drywall, ceilings, and wood.
Warning: Known for producing allergens and, in some cases, harmful mycotoxins.
2. Green Mold (Cladosporium)
Appearance: Olive-green or brown in color, often with a velvety texture.
Common Locations: Grows on wood, fabrics, carpets, and HVAC systems.
Warning: Can cause respiratory issues or skin irritation if left untreated.
3. White Mold
Appearance: Resembles a chalky or powdery texture; can look like efflorescence (mineral salt residue) on surfaces.
Common Locations: Found on wood, paper, or food stored in damp environments.
Warning: Often less obvious than darker molds, but equally capable of structural damage and health risks.
4. Yellow Mold
Appearance: Bright yellow in color, commonly referred to as "slime mold."
Common Locations: Found on wooden structures, walls, or food.
Warning: While not always toxic, prolonged exposure isn’t healthy and should be addressed immediately.
5. Pink Mold (Serratia marcescens)
Appearance: Slimy pink or reddish-orange in color.
Common Locations: Found in bathrooms, on grout, shower curtains, or damp walls.
Warning: It's technically a bacterial growth but is often mistaken for mold; nevertheless, it can cause infections or respiratory issues.
6. Blue or Green Mold (Penicillium)
Appearance: Bluish-green with a fluffy or powdery texture.
Common Locations: Common on spoiled food, walls, and damp fabrics.
Warning: Found in environments with excess moisture, can trigger allergic reactions.
