What are the examples of big groups of molds?

Answer 1

Here are some types of mold.

Household molds: The most common is cladosporium, which is also called black mold. There are many kinds of cladosporium even though they all look similar. Part of the fungi family, penicillium is used to make penicillin. It's the "fuzzy" kind of mold. Aspergillus is most common in houses with a lot of humidity, usually from a leaky roof or something similar. This kind of mold that can cause serious respiratory problems. Alternaria is commonly accepted as a major cause for Asthma because the mold attaches itself to dust particles that we inhale. Mucor is your typical "bread mold." It can affect all types of food. If you see mold on your food, it is probably this type of mold. It is very invasive.

Toxic molds: Stachybotrys was recently identified in the 30's as a major threat to human and animal health. It very commonly affected construction workers, or anybody who worked in/on home renovation, school building, ect. It causes an array of health concerns. Memnoniella resembles the stachybotrys, fungal-type of mold. It can cause allergic symptoms, and can even penetrate the lining of human lungs. The acremonium type of mold is potentially toxic and very dangerous. It can cause meningitis and a variety of other serious health problems.

Answer 2

There are two very common moulds that are widely spread around the world, those are Penicillium sp., the common blue mould, and Neurospora crassa, the common red mould.
