Re: Re: Mold Misinformation - was Alek, Run to Home Depot

The stachy situation I referred to was black and was wet because of an active

leak when it was found. It was touched accidentally by a young woman who now

suffers from bloody sores on her skin. She described it as slimy, and the

experts involved seemed to agree with that description.

I too have touched Stachy, and have grown it on agar plates. Although, I admit,

I don't really make a habit of touching mold, and actually don't see that much

Stachy. And it is often already in a dry environment (after flood or leak). I

never thought of it as slimy to the touch. I don't know why you would feel

slimy-ness. Perhaps water retention; as I stated, all mold will appear slimy

when wet.

Thanks for the clarification. I was just making the point for newer members of

Sickbuildings that stachy can become airborne. There is a lot of fraud and

deceit regarding toxic mold, and I didn't want a new member to believe an

alleged mold expert if they told them that stachy can't become airborne so there

is no reason to do air tests.

Remember, it is all relative. When I say difficult, that is compared to other

species.

I've found white Stachy several times. Very rare but possible.

You are the ONLY other person I have met that has had white Stachy

growth, other than in cultured lab samples.

Do you have any photos still? What were the conditions, etc. I'd love to

add your case to my references.

Thank You,
