Some fungi produce toxins (Mycotoxins). If they grow in animal feeds any toxins then consumed may be present in products that come from these animals. Toxin producing fungi can also grow on some foods after harvest.<br> Mycotoxins of concern are Aflatoxins produced by ''Aspergillus flavus & A. parasiticus''. They are carcinogenic, affecting the liver. Ochratoxins produced by ''Penecillium spp.'' & some ''Aspergillus'' moulds and associated with pigs, affect the kidney.
