There are many different types of molds and they can occur both indoors and outdoors. Molds are a form of fungus and they thrive in environments that are moist and warm and can grow on almost any material. Some common indoor molds include Penicillium, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, and Alternaria. Mold tends to have a rough or fuzzy appearance depending on what kind of mold and what surface it is growing on, and it can also be a variety of colors as well.

• Penicillium mold tends to grow on materials with water damage and it usually has a blue or green appearance
• Aspergillus mold grows on materials such as drywall
• Cladosporium tends to grow on fabrics and it can grow in either cool or warm environments
• Alternaria occurs in damp warm places such as bathroom shower or under a sink
