   Health effects
   Main article: Mold health hazard
   Mold spores can be allergenic, causing irritations of eye, nose, throat, and lungs.

   Molds excrete liquids or gases as defecatory matter; not all can be detected by smell. Some molds generate toxic liquid or gaseous compounds, called mycotoxins. Of these molds, some only produce mycotoxins under specific growing conditions. Mycotoxins are harmful or lethal to humans and animals when exposure is high enough.

   Dermatophytes are the parasitic fungi that cause skin infections such as Athlete’s foot and Jock Itch. Most dermataphyte fungi take the form of a mold, as opposed to a yeast, with appearance similar to other molds.

   Infection by opportunistic pathogen molds such as Penicillium marneffei and Aspergillus fumigatus is a common cause of death among immunocompromised people, including AIDS patients.
