This link will take you to the CDC photo website, where there is a

" quicksearch " box. Type the word " fungus " into the box. I tried typing

" mold " and " toxic mold " and came up with next to nothing. Typing

" fungus " returns hundreds of petri dish photos of mold. Along with the

petri dishes, there are some pretty disgusting photos of mold on the

human body. All petri dish photos are " thumbnail " photos. Clicking on

the thumbnail will enlarge the photo and show the name of the mold and

other information on the mold. Make sure that only the " photos " circle is

checked, before clicking the " begin search " button.

Go to the Aerotech P & K web site, glossary for microbials, at:

http://www.aerotechpk.com/Resources/MicrobialGlossary.aspx

They have colony images from culture plates for most of the hundreds

of molds listed. Be sure to compare the different species of

Penicillium; also Aspergillus.

Mold in dishes compared to P & K pictures look both

like mucor sp and also Fusarium, both which have

been found in my house. The aspergillus and

penisillum have a distinct center to them that

these don't. Samples I have look more

identifical to pictures there of Fusarium than

mucor sp.

Since I don't have time to get plates analyized,

I will have to go on my gut feeling on this.

Thanks.
