Most of us don't encounter mold that often. Sure, you might see something white growing on a strawberry, something green growing on an orange, or something gray growing on an onion. You might even like to eat a blue cheese. But the molds that are of greatest concern aren't those that spoil food, or even the ones that infect people. It's the ones that kill the plants that make your food. If those get out of control, we could easily experience a famine. There is also a fungus that is wiping out amphibian populations all over the world.

Alternaria
Aspergillus
Aureobasidium
Batrachochytrium
Genicularia
Oidium
Penicillium
Pithomyces
Puccinia
Rhizoctonia
Sclerotium
Trichoderma
Ustilago
Verticillium
And, as a bonus, here are two more images that I got for Pithomyces that I ultimately decided not to use:
