Dear Timmy,

According to–
http://website.nbm-mnb.ca/mycologywebpages/Moulds/Identification.html
–“Identification of moulds is based almost entirely on the structures bearing spores and on the spores themselves…usually involves keys (specialized flow-charts) leading to the name of the organism at hand.” Thus, microscopy is an essential tool in the identification of mold.

However, if you are a homeowner with this assortment growing in your house, please schedule an appointment with us!

Regards,
Bye Bye Mold™
