Commonly found in the outdoor environment. Will easily grow on decaying plant matter and decaying animal matter, on fruits and on vegetables. Many are extremely fast growing and can inhibit other fungi when competing for food or its’ environmental niche.

Commonly occuring outdoor fungus which grows on leaves, plant roots, plant litter, soil, wood. Some species cause stains in hardwoods and lumber. 

This commonly found mold requires a great deal of moisture to survive indoors. Isolated from dead plants and cellulose materials. Found on textiles and other organically bound substrates. 

A highly ubiquitous and dark colored fungi that grows on building materials, containing high cellulose content and a low nitrogen content. Individuals with chronic exposure to the toxin produced by this fungus reported cold and flu symptoms, sore throats, diarrhea, headaches, fatigue, dermatitis, intermittent local hair loss, and generalized malais [..]

Rusts or blights are parasitic to many types of plants. There are at least 5000 known species of rusts belonging to at least 150 different genera. Rusts are the cause of great economic losses on many cultivated plants. 

Specifically found in outdoor environments. Grows on decaying logs, dead leaves, dung, lawns, mulched flower beds and compost piles. May be allergenic to sensitive individuals. 

Specifically found in outdoor environments. Grows on conifers and hardwoods worldwide, causing white rot, root rot, and stem rot. Ganoderma

This fungus is found on a wide range of plants. Symptoms may occur either through ingestion of contaminated grains or possibly inhalation of spores. The genera can produce hemorrhagic syndrome in humans (alimentary toxic aleukia). This is characterized by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dermatitis, and extensive internal bleeding. Reported to be allerg [..]

Often found in higher concentrations indoors, as compared to outdoor concentrations. It is a common allergen. A wide variety of plants are food sources for this fungus. It is found on dead plants, woody plants, food, straw, soil, paint and textiles. It can cause deep mycosis in immune compromised patients. Acute symptoms include edema and bronchios [..]

A naturally prevalent fungus that is most frequently associated with grasses, plant material, decaying food, and soil. It is common to both indoor and outdoor environments. Various species of this fungus can produce the mycotoxins, sterigmatocystin, which has been shown to produce liver and kidney damage when ingested by laboratory animals.
