As mentioned above, I went to change my toothbrush head, and noticed this lil ecosystem under the bristles. I tried to clean it off and it seems almost if the mold grew into the rubber base.

Is this mold like I presume? 

Needless to say, I already purchased another one.

Went to change my electric toothbrush head… is this mold?

I collected air samples from a few places around the house (2 hours open agar plate) and was surprised to find so many varieties of mold.  There seemed to be a LOT more mold spores from the air collected down in the basement than from the rest of the house. 

One of the mold populations is pink with gold glitter in the middle, and another looks coarse/crunchy.  Anyone know what these could be?

Many varieties of mold in my home

we have a serious mold problem in the basement and this is all over a section of the floor where a bunch of my stuff (all of it was thrown out) got moldy. i can’t tell if this is mold or just dust. 

the walls in the basement look like this but 20x worse. like a thick, dark, moldy perimeter around the entire basement. worse in some spots than others but quite literally the entire perimeter, plus what i call the scary mold corner.

Moldy jack-o’-lantern 

Was searching through the pantry and found that we had two… one looks much different than the other! Surprisingly it’s the newer one that went so bad! Any idea what it is? It’s still sealed so whatever it is came from the factory.

Mold on my pitcher plant

A rainy Halloween made for some spectacular growths this year

It was sitting on a table and looked completely normal when I left the house, but when I got back ~5 hours later it had mostly collapsed in on itself, was liquifying, and the carved out bits were so full of mold I couldn't see inside. Unfortunately I didn't grab a pic (it was my roommate's and she immediately went into clean-up mode, and I certainly wasn't gonna stop her lol), but I've never seen something like this before. I'm just curious if any mold enthusiasts out there might have some insight into what could cause so much mold to grow in such a short frame of time

my pretty plum jam mold

i don’t remember the phone case like this..

Ripped up a carpet. Saw this. It’s not raised at all. Hit it with peroxide and didn’t see any reaction. Dabbed it with bleach and no change. There are other very small spots on the floor that I can pick up and roll into rubber balls.

I forgot I had a can of pumpkin in my fridge

Feel fine(burps are a bit chemically and maybe a small bit of indigestion), but man was this an unpleasant surprise.

Hey guys, I recently moved into a really old apartment and found this mess after opening a not insulated window. Do I need to contact my landlord or is it just dirty?

Skunk chicken found in my work fridge. Such a variety! 

Ordered food postmates and this tortilla had a couple black spots on the outside and inside. I didn't notice until I was halfway done with this burrito. It's Roberto's, generally I feel like these tortillas never have spots of any kind like this so am I cooked??

Is the red stuff in my tahini mold? It's not out of date and I've been keeping it in the fridge but I can't think of what else it could be.

Hello all

Got some mold growing on the boards in our loft. We bought the house in 2022 and the previous owner (now our neighbour) insists that they had no issues with mold when they had the house. The owner did get her dad to put in some extra wool specifically for the home report - so that the energy efficiency rating would improve. Her dad built the house and says that's the only thing he can think would have caused this mold.

He has advised us to put a dehumidifier in for a couple of days and then scrub the boards clean of mold. 

Does that sound like a reasonable plan or do you think the boards will ultimately need to be replaced?

I am completely clueless when it comes to this stuff unfortunately.

Thanks in advance.

Honestly was thinking there would be more.

Is this mold or mildew? Not sure if I should be concerned or just clean it normally... TIA
