Are All Types of Black Mold Toxic?

Not all black mold is harmful, but some strains can be extremely dangerous to your health. The most harmful one is Stachybotrys chartarum, which contains mycotoxins that can lead to respiratory problems, allergies, and other issues. Since it is difficult to determine if it is toxic or non-toxic mold, it is best to have a professional assessment to go through.
