We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. What is mold?
Mold
Mold is a furry growth of minute fungal
hyphae occurring typically in moist, warm
conditions, especially on food or other
organic matter. There are many types of
mold, all of which need moisture to grow.
When excessive moisture accumulates in
buildings or on building materials, mold
growth can occur.
2023 3
4. How does
mold
spread?
Mold
Mold spreads by producing tiny reproductive cells called
spores that waft through the air. Mold spores usually can
not be seen without magnification and are naturally
present in both indoor and outdoor air. Spores may remain
able to grow for years after they are produced, meaning
the allergens in and on them may remain allergenic for
years.

6. Acremonium
Mold
Typically begins as a small colony of
pink, grey, orange or white moist mold
that turns powdery. Often found in home
humidifiers, HVAC cooling coils, drain
and drip pans, and near leaky windows.
It is often found with black mold. Needs
professional cleanup.
2023 6
7. Alternaria
Mold
Dark green or brown velvety texture with
protruding “hairs”. Most often found in
shower stalls, bathtubs, and near sinks.
It’s presence usually signifies water
damage has occurred and mold will
quickly spread. Unless the colony has
grown extremely large, it can be safely
removed with proper cleaning.
2023 7
8. Aspergillus
Typically has grey or green spores that
can form thick layers of mold. However,
multiple species of Aspergillus appear as
different colors. Often appears on
wooden surfaces. Extensive infestation
should be removed by a professional.
Mold 2023 8
9. Aureobasidium
Mold
First appears as a pink, brown, or black
mold but turns dark brown as it grows and
matures. Found in dark wet and water-
damaged areas such as under carpets,
behind wallpaper, and on wooden surfaces.
Protective clothing, including eye protection
and gloves, should be worn during cleanup
of small infestations.
2023 9
10. Chaetomium
Mold spores begin as white and cotton-
like but darken to gray, brown or black.
Distinguished by a musty odor. Thrives in
water-damaged drywall, wooden
surfaces, wallpaper, and under wet
carpet and roof shingles. Often mistaken
as black mold, removal is best handled
by professionals.
Mold 2023 10
11. Cladosporium
Mold
Found in both cold and warm
environments, it has a suede-like texture
and is brown or olive green in color.
Usually found on carpet, upholstery,
drapes, and under floorboards. Small
colonies can be cleaned away by the
homeowner, but larger ones require a
professional.
2023 11
12. Fusarium
Mold
Growth is pink, red, or white. Often
found growing on food. It spreads
quickly and can be found in carpet,
wallpaper, and water-damaged
materials. Treat any cleanup with
caution.
2023 12
13. Mucor
Grows quickly to develop thick patches of
white or gray mold. Found in extremely
wet spaces where condensation has
formed such as near air conditioners,
HVAC ductwork, and leaky windows and
doors. Classified as an allergenic, small
patches can be cleaned up by the
homeowner. Larger infections require a
prefoessional.
Mold 2023 13
14. Penicillin
Mold
Surface of the mold colony is velvety-like
and blue-green in color. The mold
spreads quickly. Often found in HVAC
ducts, wallpaper, mattresses, and
carpet. Small colonies can be cleaned
by the homeowner with care. Larger
infestations should be removed by
professionals.
2023 14
15. Stachybotrys
Mold
Known as black mold, the colony has a dark
green or black slimy texture. Most often
found in areas inside a home that have been
exposed to excessive water and humidity for
weeks. Typically develops behind walls and
ceilings on wood. Removal and disposal of
affected building areas must be done by
professionals.
2023 15
16. Trichoderma
Typically appears as white or green wooly
colonies. Can grow on wallpaper, carpet,
fabrics, and surfaces exposed to excessive
moisture. Usually non-pathogenic,
Trichoderma can be cleaned by a
homeowner using proper protective
measures. It produces an enzyme that
attacks wood, textiles, and paper and can
cause damage to building foundations.
Mold 2023 16
17. Ulocladium
Mold
Typically black and formed in clumps.
Typically found in kitchens, bathrooms,
and basements that have suffered water
damage or areas that stay wet for long
periods. Caught early, cleanup can be
done by a homeowner.
2023 17
19. Are there regulations for mold?
Mold
There are no federal, state, or local
regulatory limits for mold in the home or
work environment. Because of this, air
sampling may or may not prove useful.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
offers remediation tips.
