There are thousands of species of mold on earth. The mold that has received the most “press coverage” is Stachrybotrys chartarum referred to it as the “black mold” and is one of the many mycotoxins-producing molds. It takes under ideal conditions between 7 to 12 days to begin colonizing; however this mold has been associated with prolonged water damage of building materials. There are other molds most commonly found in remediation work like Penicillium and Aspergillus. These two are xerophilic, which means they can grow in low moisture environments. In fact, you don’t want any of these or other type of mold in your walls or house.
