Houses can have fungi {mold, housing} that break down organic materials. Molds can grow on wood, paper, and leaves. Molds look green, gray, brown, black, or white and smell musty and earthy. High mold-spore levels can damage roofs, beams, and floors. Flooding, leaky roofs, sprinkler spray, leaky plumbing, sink or sewer overflow, basements, crawl spaces, showers, cooking steam, humidifiers, and indoor clothes-dryer exhaust make moist places where molds grow. Mold spores can get in lungs and cause hay fever and allergies. Molds can produce poisons {mycotoxin}.
