Yellow Mold
A common term used to describe mold with a yellow appearance, which may include species like Aspergillus, Serpula, or Epicoccum. Yellow mold can grow on wood, drywall, food, or insulation, especially in areas with high humidity or water damage. While not all yellow mold is toxic, it can still pose health risks and should be professionally assessed if found indoors.
