I don't know the significance of what it says, but it is very significant that it *doesnt* say "Stachybotris"

(stachybotris is the toxic black mold that the whole country is having a collective hissy fit about)

Can anyone tell me what this mold report means?



============================= According to the State Lab of Hygiene report for the water damaged drywall sample taken from Curtin 495, there were:



aerobic actinomycete 1,400 colony forming units (CFU) per inch^2



82 %

Acremonium species 100 CFU/in^2, 6 %



Penicillium species 100 CFU/in^2, 6%



Tribirachium species 100 CFU/in^2, 6%


Short answer. That fuzzy stuff is mold and unless you have a special allergy, you will live. As I recall non-of those are considered serious health risk. However you don't want them at all so you will want to take some form of action.

I am no expert and I don't recognize those measurements, so it may be levels you would expect to find in any home. Believe me every home and office, street corner and farm field has some molds.
