What does black mold smell like?

Black mold, specifically Stachybotrys chartarum, typically has a strong, musty, and earthy smell. It’s often described as similar to the scent of wet, rotting wood or damp paper. This distinctive odor is a key indicator of black mold presence, even if the mold is not immediately visible.

If you are living or working in an environment with black mold, you should get it addressed immediately as it can cause long term health conditions.
