Stachybotrys,
occasionnaly misspelled as Stachybotris is a greenish
black mold that grows on material with a high cellulose content or such as
hay, straw, wicker, and wood chips, as well as building materials such as
ceiling tile, drywall, paper vapor barriers, wallpaper, insulation backing,
cardboard boxes, paper files, fiberboard, the paper covering of gypsum
wallboard, particleboard, jute, dust, and wood when these items become water
damaged. This mold requires very wet or high humid conditions for days or
weeks in order to grow. Most mold spores can begin growing after just
24 hours of wetness, whereas Stachybotrys spores take at least 48 hours of
sustained wetness to begin growth.
Stachybotrys survives and grows best in a continually wet environment such
as a slow water leak in a wall, or in a building suffering from ongoing high
humidity levels. Excessive indoor humidity
resulting in water vapor condensation on walls, plumbing leaks, spills from
showering or bathing, water leaking through foundations or roofs may lead to
growth of many types of mold, including stachybotrys.
Because Stachybotrys
spores are rarely airborne, Stachy is usually identified by direct swabs,
or lift tape samples of the mold itself with laboratory analysis of the
collected physical samples. When active and growing in a wet environment,
Stachy can look black, shiny, and slimy.
