What is the blue color on my grated parm shaker?

Hi, I grew microgreens at my new aprtment and the soil became quite moldy. After one week of spotting the mold, I threw the tray away. Even few days after discarding the moldy soil, I still get very severe symptoms and can't stay there (I'm very sensitive). The symptoms started quickly after the mold appeared, and I was fine before the growing experiment.

Now I'm wondering, what would be the best way to clean the apartment. What do you think, would wiping the surfaces with water be enough to get rid of symptoms? Is somekind of air purification needed even though the apartment is already well ventilated?

Mold cleaning of apartment

Was too lazy too throw away this jar of con queso and let it marinate a little too long in the fridge… was holding my breath the whole time the lid was open lol. Really fascinated by the black mold near the lip of the jar.

Is this Mold in my apartment? How to treat it?

I have contamination OCD tendencies (not enough for a diagnosis but enough that it can sometimes cause issues) so despite this still being sealed, I couldn't shake the feeling of getting mold on my hands for so dang long - but I knew y'all would like this, so I snagged a picture to post before I tossed it

Went to a friend's house today

I’m not sure if this is mold or not. In the second photo it looks kind of green but when I shine a light down there it seems to be not moldy?

I found this while cleaning the backroom at work.

Interesting, our house plant is growing more than just a plant. Dangerous?

I'm unsure if this is the right subreddit to ask, but I've been wanting to grow my own mold and then preserve it. I suppose this is a question of how to preserve organic matter in general. I've thought of freeze drying or spilling resin on it, but I'm unsure. Thoughts?

Hello, I was wondering how one may preserve mold to keep it like a sculpture of sorts?

After some significant medical issues (stain), I discovered my entire mattress is FULL of mold! Not a design!

Mold followed the water lines!

Just bought these at Target. Went to wash the covers that come on them and this is what I see. Left looks clean all around. What’s going on with the right one??  It’s only on the one side.

Moldy Gel Memory foam pillow??

Thanks Walmart.....

The inside seems a bit hollow but I might be able to just cut the outside bits. Or should I just discard the whole thing?

Mold from the inside of my onion. Can I eat around it?

I’m pretty sure this is mold. Pulled out a sweet cardigan I haven’t worn since last year. Pockets have what looks to be white mold on them. What do you think?

My cotton sweater mold

Welp. Made the family grilled cheese with sliced provolone and tomato soup. Cheese appeared pristine and tasted normal. Went to seal it back up and discovered this MASSIVE bad boy directly under the label. Doesn't look like any mold I've ever seen on cheese (I've seen blue, pink, white, loads of speckles.. but not this monstrosity) so I'm totally freaked out. We all gonna die, or what? 
(In all seriousness, one member of the family takes immunosupressants so I really am trying to figure out if we need to be worried/on the watch. I know most mold isn't actually toxic but can cause people to feel/be sick, but know next to nothing about it past that).
