It's important to understand what mold is and where it thrives. All molds are fungi, and share biology with mushrooms and lichens, for example. The mold that is toxic to people is rare in the fungi world, meaning most kinds you find in your house or business aren't harmful. However, some are dangerous, so any mold you find indoors must be cleaned up and completely removed.
