We live in an apartment and the AC unit comes through the wall and sits half inside half outside. We’ve been here for over a year and a half and haven’t seen this before

Please help

I just set up my tent after 10 hours of driving to find it covered in mold. It’s a greyish mold and does not seem to be very deep in the fabric but my entire tent is covered in it. I have mild form of asthma that does not bother me usually but i am 27 and want to take care of my lungs so that they won’t struggle to keep me alive later in life.

I don’t have a lot of time to take it apart and wash it, but

1. Can i actually sleep in this or is it risky / dangerous? And does anyone know the actual risks? I don’t mind too much feeling a bit unwell tomorrow as long as it does not damage my body long term.

2. Or, should i sleep in my car and buy a new tent tomorrow to camp in for the rest of the week?

3. What can i do to clean it and mainly make it less dangerous without taking it down again and in such a way that i can reuse it the day after? Or as an alternative i could sleep in a hotel for a night?

Title says it all. Just wondering because it’s a building I frequent and I hear black mold is really bad for the lungs.

Just moved into this apartment a few months ago, into an old, historical building that was just renovated for apartments. 3 months in, I notice this on the vinyl floor. It doesn’t wash off, any ideas?

Rained most of the day today, is this a form of slime mold? Also, is it harmful to my dogs?

This is inside the air filter housing and the entire air filter is black so i am extremely concerned.

This is on our bathroom fan - I’m honestly not sure how long it’s been there but noticed recently and it doesn’t seem to be getting much worse over the past 2-3 weeks.

I assume it’s from humidity because of the shower and outdoor humid conditions, so I added a humidifier in the bathroom. I’m not sure if that’s what’s helping it not grow, but I still don’t know how to get rid of it. Should I just wipe it off?

I recently noticed grey spots on the siding and door. I initially noticed the window area looking dirty, but started to question if it was mold. Then I noticed these other spots. If it is mold, what should be done about it? I am only noticing it on the outside, but is it safe to continue being here? I rent.

Edit: I am located in the US in North Carolina

My mom is dealing with these tiny bugs (so small that she can’t see the detail on them even with a jeweler loop) and they seem to like this mold? Not even sure what kind it is. She thinks they might be book lice.. does anyone have any advice?

I live in Canada-ON. Its on my ceiling and was damp to the touch 2 weeks back. It has developed since then. Will attach a pic from 2 weeks ago compared to now. The area is about 2 inches or so. Furthermore, there aren’t any other spots except for this one. Whats the solution for this?

Our ridge vent has been leaking for who knows how long. We've only been in this house for 3ish years.

The roofer and my husband feel as though the plywood gives them no pause. I am concerned. The roofer said they could replace the ridge vent and carry on or we would need to get a new roof to replace the boards.

I just need someone to validate my concerns or give me relief that the boards will dry up over time. Don't mind the spray foam from our contractor who was just trying to help. We know it's a hilarious attempt at a solution.

We had a leak in the ceiling pipes in our storage/HVAC closet about a month ago. We live in an apartment so they’ve been extremely slow at dealing with this. All they’ve done at this point is cut open the sheetrock in rhe ceiling and test the walls for moisture, but when they cut everything open I noticed this exposed wood with suspected mold. Is this in fact mold? What other testing should they be doing? They had someone come out to do an air quality test but only tested our living room and bedroom telling us they “don’t test closets because they are not occupied spaces”. Looking for some guidance here. Thanks!

if it is i’m going to cry. these are two separate vents. i’ve lived in this apartment for two years. the maintenance team sucks but i am moving out in a month. i was told this was dust but it looks like mold to me. idk why i never really inspected it until now but i’m concerned 😭 i’ve been trying to identify the source of asthma flare ups. i’ve never even had asthma until moving here so….

Hi everyone, I've had black mold underneath the white seals joining the wall to the bottom of my shower for a while now. The room is small, I shower with the door closed and quite high temperatures so a lot of steam is heavily confined. The mold doesn't seem to be anywhere but underneath the seals however recently I've noticed my skin has gotten awful. I've had clear glass skin for my entire life but for a month or two now (basically I moved back home from college) I've noticed small spots coming up in random places in my skin. Noticeably more blackheads too and generally my skin just feels dirtier.

Is it possible that the spores are entering the steam because of hot water and causing this bad skin?

Side note, any way to remove black mold from seals????

Thanks for reading :)

And should I just toss this? Thank you.

Pennsylvania. I have a step stool that I pulled out of my kitchen closet/pantry that has this type of mold on it i checked the floors they are clean i checked walls and no sign of moisture. The walls are solid so likely no water damage. I have the same problem in my bedroom closet which is not near the kitchen one I had a gym bag grow mold on it same deal clean no water no sign of mold. Anybody have any ideas what I should do? I know the diy home kits are garbage.

I’m looking for advice from anyone familiar with **Illinois commercial leases, mold/moisture issues, or landlord-tenant law**
**Location: southern Illinois**
I rented a space in a roughly **100-year-old former schoolhouse** with several businesses. When I moved in, the space was extremely dirty and needed significant cleaning. There was also **already a mushroom growing out of one of the walls**, which I pointed out to the maintenance guy. He basically joked about it, and nothing was done.
The lease says I’m responsible for repairs, and when I brought up issues previously, that was essentially what I was told. However, this wasn’t simply a minor leak. During my tenancy there were instances of **serious water intrusion—almost flooding**. I have messages/screenshots documenting some of the water issues.
The wall is original brick that was covered with paneling years ago because the space had previously been used as the kitchen for the coffee shop located directly above it. I’m not claiming the paneling was intentionally installed to hide anything.
What has me really upset is that **while cleaning the space out to move**, I found **new mushroom growth coming back through/around the same wall/paneling**.
So I have a mushroom that was present when I moved in and reported, a history of significant water intrusion, and now new fungal growth appearing again as I’m leaving.
I did not renew my lease after the rent was increased about **33%**, and I’m currently trying to finish moving out and protect my security deposit.
**My main question is: do I potentially have grounds for legal action against the landlord, despite the lease saying I’m responsible for repairs?** Could the landlord still have responsibility for major/structural water intrusion or a pre-existing moisture problem?
What should I do **right now before I completely vacate**? Should I get a professional moisture/mold inspection, preserve the mushrooms/wall as-is, document everything, or have an attorney review the lease?
I’m genuinely upset by this and want to know whether I have any legal recourse before I hand the space back.

Trying to identify if this is mold or not. It doesnt look a lot like other pictures of mold so Im struggling. This is on a basement foundation wall. Some water was found on the sill plates. No water beyond that permeating the finished space. It rubs off like a spec or dirt, doesnt seem overly fuzzy. Almost looks like some kind of spackling. Any ideas?

Tucked away in a corner of a basement, absolutely feral. Any ideas on what kind of mold? Looks like penicillin to me. Regardless its time to evict it
