Mold of the month - Syncephalastrum racemosum
The mold species Syncephalastrum racemosum, due to its distribution in tropical or subtropical regions, is not necessarily one of the typical indoor molds in Germany. However, this species is frequently found on spoiled food and is also introduced into temperate climates in the course of global food transport chains. The ability to maintain vital spores under anaerobic conditions also allows dissemination via vacuumed and dried foods.
