What Is Black Mold?
Mold, a type of fungus, exists naturally in many environments. Although many species of molds may have a black color, this feature does not imply that they are identical fungi. The most prevalent species of black mold commonly found in households is Stachybotrys chartarum. Another black mold, Exophiala, is frequently observed in homes. The former typically thrives in bathrooms or near windows, while the latter is often found in dishwashers.
