Uncontrolled water intrusions in buildings can result in unplanned indoor fungal growth. While most of us have encountered mold in our bathrooms, kitchens, attics and basements, there are a whole suite of fungi (and slime molds) that grow in our indoor environments. In this presentation, this suite will be introduced, including species with hazardous or lethal outcomes.
Michael Warnock studied mycology at the University of Toronto. In 2003, he formed his own company, ID Onsite Inc., to focus on fungal growth in water-damaged buildings. He is an active member of the Mycological Society of Toronto and was a contributing author for The Mushrooms of Toronto (City of Toronto Biodiversity Series), published in 2015.
