Mold Testing Summary and Results 2
BASIDIOSPORES – MODERATE TO HIGH LEVELS PRESENT INDOORS

Quantity and concentration of basidiospores: 

Primary Bathroom : 152 – Moderate 

This score indicates the likelihood that basidiospores present in the indoor sample originated from indoor sources. Basidiospores are extremely common outdoors and originate from fungi in gardens, forests, and woodlands. It is rare for the source of basidiospores to be indoors because basidiospores are produced by a group of fungi that includes mushrooms and other “macro fungi” (and are not technically molds). Their concentrations can be extremely high outdoors during wet conditions such as rain. Nevertheless, in certain conditions basidiospores can be produced indoors, and a high rating indicates that there is probably a source of basidiospores indoors. One reason basidiospores are important is that they can be an indicator of wood decay (e.g. “dry rot”), a condition that can dramatically reduce the structural integrity of a building.

We recommend that you consult with an EPA certified mold mitigation company if you are not familiar with how to locate and safely remove mold growth or how to identify and correct moisture problems that may exist. 

Recommend contacting a qualified mold mitigation company for further evaluation of the moderate or high levels of Basidiospores that were identified in the air sample that was taken at the time of the inspection.
