Curvularia spicifera is a dematiaceous mold in the family Pleosporaceae.[1][2] It can live in a variety of environments often causing leaf blight and fruit rot on trees.[3] The mold is characterized by suede-like to downy, brown to blackish-brown, rapidly growing colonies.[4] It is a rare opportunistic pathogen in humans causing allergic reactions or infections.[3][5] The mold spores can be removed from indoor air with a high efficiency particulate air filtration system of 0.3 µm or less.[6]
