    "Determination of the mycotoxins actually produced in water-damaged buildings can most adequately be done by analyzing contaminated building materials. This has been demonstrated for the following species:

    Stachybotrys chartarum, Aspergillus versicolor, Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium polonicum,

    Chaetomium globosum, Aspergillus ustus, Trichoderma longibrachiatum, Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus niger"
