Stachybotrys

Stachybotrys ( ) is a genus of fungus, hyphomycetes or asexually prolific, filamentous fungus. Historically, it was thought to be closely related to the genus Memnoniella , since spores are produced in slimy heads rather than in dry chains. More recently, synonyms of two genera are generally accepted. Most Stachybotrys species inhabit cellulosic-rich materials. This genus has a widespread distribution, and contains about 50 species. The name comes from the Greek word ?????? stakhus (ear of grain, stalk, stick, metaphoric, progeny) and ?????? botrus (clustered or much like wine, scrolls).

The most famous species, S. chartarum (formerly known as S. atra ) and S. chlorohalonata , is known as "black bamboo " or "toxic black print" in the US, and is often associated with poor indoor air quality that arises after mold growth in building materials damaged by water.. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "The term 'toxic mold' is inaccurate.While certain fungi are toxigenic, meaning they can produce toxins (especially mycotoxins), the mold itself is non-toxic, or poisonous.The dangers presented by fungi can produce Mycotoxins should be considered the same as any other common mushroom that can grow in your home.

Symptoms of exposure Stachybotrys in humans

A controversy began in the early 1990s after the analysis of two infant deaths and some cases in children from poor areas in Cleveland, Ohio, because pulmonary haemorrhage was initially associated with exposure to large numbers of Stachybotrys chartarum . Extensive and extensive reanalysis of cases by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention failed to find a link between death and fungal exposure.
