Aktas, and published by BSRIA in 2024, states: 'Mould is a subcategory of the fungal kingdom. It is broadly composed of spores and filaments, known as hyphae as shown in the image below. These collectively form a filamentous network called mycelium. Mould is ubiquitous in indoor and outdoor environments. As a large portion of the fungal kingdom, moulds account for thousands, if not millions, of known and unknown species.'

	Mould (sometimes referred to as mildew) is a fungal growth. Whilst mould itself is not toxic, some moulds can produce toxins that can have negative effects on human health, for example causing asthma, rhinitis, itchy eyes, respiratory symptoms, respiratory infection and eczema.
