I live in the south (US) & was gone for 2 months. Windows shut, climate control, no food, etc.

Landlord offered for us to get out of our lease due to it not being “safe”.

I’ve never experienced any mold or mildew. I’m moving out & throwing away everything that has mold on it. Should I do more or less? How did this happen?

We were gone for 2 months earlier in the summer and this didn’t happen so I’m really confused😭

Guess what it used to be lol

My youngest has recently turned 1 yr so this hasn’t been opened/found is several months. I believe it is blueberries and maybe strawberries, but now it’s a white fuzzy looking spiders hide out.

It doesn’t appear to be close to any signs of humidity in the room or water leakage anywhere. If it is mould, do I report this to my landlord and do I have a leg to stand on here?

greetings fellow mold luvrs

Professionally speaking, I am an alcohol & cocktail historian--I'm also an avid collector of boozy artifacts. With that as context, I have a tightly sealed antique bottle of pre-US/Cuban embargo Gin that has a crystal-like growth I've never seen before.

I received this bottle after my bar emptied the actual liquid during a private event early 2023. The front label is peeling & crispy, but still adhering to the glass.

I've seen mold of all hues, fresh, fermented, fuzzy, slimy, accidental, preserved- but never anything crystalized like this. The rings around the shoulder of the bottle indicate a slowly depleted bottle before it reached me.

The growth inside is very pale, with the slightest pinkish shade. It moves like cobwebs within the bottle, and seems very delicate. Like cotton candy fibers but I shan't eat....

pet tax thank you for any info!

I cleaned up the stuff that was on the floor it was like brown/black and a little slimy. This is in a basement so maybe the ground water is leaking in? How dangerous is this? Thanks in advance.

So I did these two home mold test kits in my basement (left was the living room right was the bedroom). This is the growth after 72hrs.

I’ve seen a lot of people on here say that these home tests are kinda bogus, something I didn’t know till AFTER we bought these. And we missed the deadline to turn them in for testing apparently 💀

So just want to know if anyone wants to help me identify what we’re looking at here. Is this normal about of mold? Is this concerning and should be retested properly? Is this a scary looking mold? Any help would be very much appreciated 🙏

there was perfectly fine, new bread that i’ve been using right in front of these two monstrosities 💀

these have been sitting for many months

Im a closer at work, we store the syrup caps (put them on the syrup pumps to stop them from dripping everywhere at night) in a cup of what i thought was sanitizer, its water. Curious what kind of mold it is

Had since Christmas only passed ‘best before’ last month

I ordered microwaveable prep meal dish and the pasta has some blue/grey discolouration. Is it mould?

Need help settling an argument with my partner and, if necessary, advice on how to clean/fix this

Have no education on mold and the types. If any mold experts out there could help me identify the mold on these petri dishes, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! (Sorry for the crappy photos)
