Water molds, also known as oomycetes, are primarily known for affecting plants and aquatic ecosystems. While they are not typically harmful to humans, some species can produce toxins that may pose health risks, particularly in cases of exposure to contaminated water or environments. Generally, the risk to human health is low, but individuals with compromised immune systems or Allergies may experience adverse effects. Overall, maintaining good hygiene and avoiding contaminated water sources can minimize any potential risks.

Are all molds harmful fungi?

Some molds are dangerous, in fact, to my knowledge, most are. Some are used for medicines, such as penicillin, which is used to combat many sicknesses. Others are very dangerous, such as black mold, which will grow in damp places in places such as indoors. Most molds on foods are forms of penicillin, but it is not wise to eat it. -Molds can be toxic in high amounts. Not all black mold is is dangerous, however stachybotrys chartarum is dangerous in very small amounts. It is a blackish slimy mold, and it's spores do not become airborn easily.
