About These Five Major Fungi
Aspergillus brasiliensis (formally Aspergillus niger) causes a disease called black mold on certain fruits and vegetables such as grapes, apricots, onions, and peanuts, and is a common contaminant of food. It is ubiquitous in soil and is commonly reported from indoor environments.
Penicillium funiculosum is a plant pathogen infecting pineapples, has been identified as the causal agent of IFC, LP, and FCR, and a pathogen that targets pineapple fruits in the early stages of their development.
Aureobasidium pullulans can be found in different environments (e.g. soil, water, air, and limestone). Chronic human exposure to A. pullulans via humidifiers or air conditioners can lead to hypersensitivity pneumonitis (extrinsic allergic alveolitis) or "humidifier lung". This condition is characterized acutely by dyspnea, cough, fever, chest infiltrates, and acute inflammatory reaction. The condition can also be chronic, and lymphocyte-mediated.
Chaetomium globosum primarily resides on plants, soil, straw, and dung. C. globosum are human allergens and opportunistic agents of ungual mycosis and neurological infections. However such illnesses occur at low rates.
Trichoderma virens is a haploid, filamentous hyphomycete (a subclass of fungi). As strains of T. virens are used to protect many crops from a variety of pathogens, this species is a model system for elucidating the mechanisms of biological control.

Dark Grey Dark grey cabinets with grey quartz countertops give a very modern, put-together look that works well with so many styles of kitchens.

For example, matte charcoal cabinets with polished grey quartz that has somewhat subtle veining […]

White amplifies light, and this color can dramatically make a room appear more open, creating a strategic choice in small or closed spaces like kitchens and bathrooms. Popular varieties include River White, White Ice, […]
