Abstract

Filamentous microscopic fungi (moulds, predominantly from the phylum Ascomycota), a very diverse and versatile group of organisms, are able to colonize any kind of substrate. This article presents a short survey of some microfungi inhabiting our households.

Examples are given of toxigenic fungi, xerophiles, psychrophiles, necrotrophs and sugar fungi.
