There is now a section on this allergy website that describes some of the most common allergy-causing molds. Although they are not described in great detail, there are links to other websites that describe them more.

Molds are important. Mold damage occurs both to people and their things. This website does not deal with mold damage to the things exactly, but in a way it does. When things, especially buildings, encounter mold damage, there is lots of mold growing, resulting in allergy-causing spores, and myotoxins, a major indoor air quality problem.

Anyhow, I am getting ahead of myself. The nastiest molds in the allergy department include:

• Alternaria
• Aspergillus
• Aureobasidium
• Cladosporium
• Epicoccum
• Fusarium
• Mucor
• Penicillium
• Rhizopus

One or two of the articles have rather interesting and beautiful illustrations, but most are plain for now. I might get around to fixing that at some point ....

Anyhow, I hope you like what I have produced so far. Leave a comment or send a message with your feedback.
