Fungi are the most prevalent organisms on earth.They compose about 25% of the biomass of the earth.

Although color is one indicator of the kind or category of fungus, since there are so many different kinds within any color category, it is not a reliable determiner of what species of mold you're dealing with.

And since there is no reliable way to simple figure out how to remove the mold based on color alone, your best bet for information is to test a sample to know for sure. This is especially important to find out if you are dealing with a toxic mold.

Often more relevant removal guidelines come from searching where your mold problem is, rather than what color you're looking at.For example, how you remediate drywall mold might include more helpful instructions than trying to figure out which of the thousands of green molds you're trying to remove.

However, there are some general guidelines including:

• When To Hire A Professional For Mold Removal Rather Than Do It Yourself
• The Importance of Protective Clothing and Equipment
• Mold Cleaning Tips
• Containing the area you're working in to keep spores from spreading
• Shutting down all heating, ventilating and air conditioning to control the spread of spores
• Carefully bagging up, sealing and disposing of any mold-infested materials
• Allowing the area to completely dry out before attempting remediation
• Applying an EPA-registered fungicide to make sure you kill all mold and its roots.
• Using a HEPA vacuum to remove any traces from surfaces and the air.
• Testing to be sure all fungi are dead and gone before attempting to remodel, repair, paint or drywall.
