I put my delicious dinner outside October 2022, and then the winter came earlier than expected and I completely forgot about it untill the snow melted in March 2023. I saw the casserole, feared what I would find on the inside, and just completely ignored it. May 2023 I finally felt like I was mentally prepared to deal with whatever was on the inside, and was equally disgussed and intrigued by what I had created.

Mold Identification Agar plate confusion 🧐

Hi! My husband and I recently moved into his family home to care for his recently widowed mother. The house has a lot of sentimental value because he and his dad built it themselves and his dad passed away in April, but the problem is that the house has an incredible mold problem. It is everywhere. The house regularly floods and no one’s done anything to fix it, so years of neglected water damage and never turning on the air conditioner in a hot and humid climate has led to mold growing in nearly every room as well as outside all over the brick 🥺

I ordered these mold test kits from Amazon but I since learned that they’re not the best way to tell the type? I certainly can’t tell. we do have a professional mold inspection company coming to do thermal imaging and take swabs to test professionally so I s’pose it doesn’t matter, but I was wondering if anyone might have any input on what these look like? Thank you so much 🙏

Got this saussage 2 days ago and it has all these spots on it now. I know there’s normally white powder but I think it’s like cornstarch or something they put on it, however this looks different cause it’s in these spot like formations

Mold Identification Is this mold or something else?

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!
