What Is Black Mold?
Stachybotrys Chartarum
When people and news reports talk about black mold, they most likely mean Stachybotrys Chartarum. This type of black mold is capable of producing allergens. However, not all mold that is black is necessary Stachybotrys. In fact, thousands of different types of mold exist in all colors and sizes.
It’s not possible to tell from the naked eye if mold can produce toxins or not, it should always be treated with caution.

Understanding Mold
When water intrudes into your property, mold growth can start in as little as 48 hours. Consider the following mold facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic, float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor, and that odor can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
