        "text": "Mildew is a common type of surface mold that usually appears as a flat, powdery or fuzzy growth, often white, gray, or yellowish. It typically grows on surfaces in humid conditions and can be easier to clean. Black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum), however, is a more serious type of fungus that can appear greenish-black and often has a slimy texture. It can grow embedded within porous materials like drywall and is associated with more significant health concerns, requiring professional remediation.",
