Dark Mold is the quick growing, asexually reproduced mold within the Stachybotrys genus that usually flourishes inside buildings. Mold is mostly black, but the coloring can vary quite a bit from brown to gray. The more damp the conditions, the more rapidly and thickly black mold colonies form.
It is essential to know precisely what mold type you are addressing when you see it inside your home. Areas of high humidity will invariably have black mold colonies, except when presented with high doses of daily UV rays. Still, once mold colonies become strong, they will be immune to conditions in which they may not ordinarily be able to grow.
Some growth mediums that are particularly predisposed to include straw, hay, and wood. However, the mold may be growing in areas that are hidden and in colonies too minute to see until it is suddenly visible one day. At this point, it may be too spread out to fight by average methods such as bleach. You might have to call in a pro to deal with the problem.
A failure to fend off mold not only can induce structural issues, but it can also trigger a variety of health problems. A few people develop only minor allergies to mold, while several others have bad allergic reactions and even asthma attacks when exposed to black mold. Therefore, killing mold even before it is able to grow strong colonies is vital.
