So, what is black mold? Also known as Stachybotrys, black mold is a fungus that is often found in dark, damp spaces in a home or commercial building. Humid conditions and areas full of moisture are more prone to black mold. Because of its color, black mold is easier to identify than other species of molds. As its name hints, this type of mold is a dark black color, different than other types of molds that may present themselves as gray or green in color.
