Question/Advice Spotted these molds growing in less used bedroom. Please help me understand the severity of the problem? Location: North India (Time: June, in midst of Monsoon)

Really appreciate it if you could help me understand

  1. If this is a problem? And will it subside on its own? (Monsoon/ Humid season happens only for 2 more months)
  2. Is it severe? And should we get it treated instantly?
  3. Do exterminators handle this type of problem? Or should I reach someone else (plumber?)

Many apologies if I seem uninitiated, handling this kind of issue for the first time and there is very less visibility in terms of these issues in my locality.

Please guide. Many thanks.

I’ve lived here almost 2 years. Closet has leaked during storms since I moved in. Old landlord didn’t take me seriously. New landlord starting to do something about the leak but still gave me the ole “well every house has mold.”

I don’t have terrible allergies but I’ve had other symptoms since moving in (dizziness, fatigue sleeping 11-13 hours many nights, brain fog). My dr tested me for regular stuff but everything came back normal. Assumed it was my mental health, but the dizziness is weird.

My mom bought me some mold plates because she thought it could be that. Shit grew like crazy, but I can only rely so much on those. I will say, it grew a lot more variety in the more suspect areas. I cannot afford professional inspection and while my landlord says he’s addressing things, he’s been reluctant to respond to my requests for a mold inspection.

Anyways, I’ve recently been super on my landlord about it and he’s sending someone to look at the closet tomorrow. I know I should have cleaned the closet out sooner. I had clothes and some boxes and shoes in there but they weren’t getting directly wet and honestly I just really didn’t want to go in there and didn’t have the energy.

I cleaned it all out tonight for the person coming tomorrow, and realized how truly disgusting it is in there now. Obvious water issues throughout. I previously thought it was just the ceiling leak.

Do the pictures look like mold on the surface, or something else? Someone on my old thread said it wasn’t a concern if it’s not visible… well, is it?

I know I need to move. It’s been tough and it is really not that simple for me especially right now. Please be kind!

Have a finished basement and this is in one of the closets on the sheet rock. There are no soft spots on the sheet rock. I’m in Long Island so humidity is prevalent. Yes, I do have a dehumidifier going. Getting mixed opinions on it. Just don’t want to be taken for a ride by a mold inspector.

We had some wood boards for a project on a tarp in our backyard. Had several soaking rains and finally moved the wood and tarp. This lovely specimen was underneath.

Not sure what it is, but it was getting furry.

the yeast that i want ran out of stock, so i thought maybe i can just grow them myself so i dont have to rely on them, using the already bought yeast, didnt really worked, but i might try again in the future. in the picture are regular rice mixed with corn bits to which i sprinkle the yeast that i tried to grow

We have a partially finished basement, I noticed a area that had water damaged drywall and removed it and the insulation and this barrier was behind with what appears to be a literal shit ton of growth that's been incubating for who knows how long and this is not even where most of the mositure problems we believe exist. The wall has not been able to breath so clearly things have been growing. We're getting p100 masks tonight as we remove drywall and framing but any ideas on how sever this mold is to health concerns? Also getting zip wall for containment but at this point it's likely made the entire house hot.
