Spegazzinia mold is a genus of mitosporic Ascomycota (sac fungi that accounts for approximately 75% of all described fungi). There are seven species of this mold including Spegazzinia deightonii, Spegazzinia tessarthra, Spegazzinia sp. CL115, Spegazzinia sp. yone 279 and other species. Spegazzinia grows in slightly warm to tropical temperatures in soil, trees and plants and may be also found in air but does not grow on indoor environmental surfaces. Personal spore traps may be a better measure of exposure than stationary air sampling equipment.
