Black Mold (Stachybotrys chartarum): Also known as Stachybotrys atra or Stachybotrys alternans, Black Mold is a type of fungus that produces its spores in slime heads. While it can be found in soil and grain, it is commonly detected in cellulose-rich building materials in damp or water-damaged buildings. Discovered in 1837, it thrives in high-moisture environments like wet gypsum material and wallpaper. Black Mold is notorious for its potential health risks, making professional remediation crucial, a service offered by Bio Clean of Utah.
