Penicillium is another mold that thrives in the presence of excess moisture or water in the home or at work. It produces the moldy basement or crawl space smell that is commonly associated with old houses that have excess dampness. Some species are allergenic and some actually produce mycotoxins (toxic substances produced by molds). The presence of penicillium can be confirmed by sampling and laboratory analysis, as with other opportunistic molds. Penicillium can be a definite indoor health hazard and should be properly remediated to increase air quality in your apartment, house, office, warehouse, factory, showroom, or other place of business. Penicillium is frequently one of the first molds to attack a home that has had water or excess moisture intrusion. It is a reliable indicator of water damage in the home, especially in the hidden recesses behind finished basement walls.
