Mould/Fungi neck tie, marine/olive

Mould is a serious environmental hazard, composed of varying types of fungi, and has wide-reaching health-related, legal and financial implications.  Our pretty stunning design features the following stylish villains:

• Stachybotrys (oblong with hyphae at end).

• The classic, toxic black mold, found in water-damaged or "leaky" buildings.  The spores are choka-block with a variety of toxins.

• Aspergillus (flower-like) - looks beautiful, like a fanning flower, but can produce a very a nasty aflatoxin.

• Penicillium (faint "artist's brush" shape in background) - a common environmental mould, with one of the more recognizable shapes for microbiologists.
