This happened about a year and a half ago, I can laugh about it now but at the time I was not amused. I had had a wet spot at the passengers seat, on the floor, for a few weeks. Thought it was the mat that kept getting wet. Didn't really know what to do at the time or what it was. So I went on holiday, came back, and found my car entirely moldy. I swear to god I thought it was alive because when I opened the door, the car literally made cracking sounds. Of course I went OMG. It was so disgusting. And the creaking! I cleaned it but needed professional cleaners to do it. So they did. After, I went to the mechanic (where you get your car fixed, we call it a garage, idk if that translates) and he said I had a leak of some sort (I already forgot what exactly). And also a lot of rust, so it happens. Anyway, turned out my car couldn't get through the yearly inspection (MOT) if I wasn't willing to pay >1000 euros to get it fixed. (Which I wasn't, cause it was secondhand) I could leave my car there on the spot and got a 100 euros for it lmao. (Wouldn't have bothered cleaning it) Anyway, if somethings wet in the car (hehe) always go check...! 😜

Other Mold or Moth Funhouse?

Our pantry (Atlantic coast of North America) has had moths for months upon months at this point, and we finally found what we think is the source, but it looks gnarly enough that I thought I should post it here

I have no idea what this even used to be, but now my cinnamon bagel is looking a lot less appetizing…

Hello everyone! I received a book from my auntie who passed away three weeks ago. At first I didn’t notice but now, I noticed weird stains and I want to ask for opinion if it could be mold. I have a lot of books, and I don’t want to spread it but also don’t want to throw the book as it holds as memories. Thank you!

Mold started to appear in my bathroom.

Trying to get rid of it with chlorine only ended up spreading it around.

This on some kind of paper that is with a granular aspect.

I’m a renter, not an owner, I don’t want to have troubles with my landlord.

Help me please, I’m lost…

Thanks for your answers !

Mold Identification How did it turn red??

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi!

I left two glasses in my bedroom for more than a week, and they turned out to be moldy. What’s weird is that this one had like three little black dots on Thursday and when I checked it again this morning to wash it, it has turned red, but I have no clue how and why.

I already forgot what I kept in it, my assumption is a lemon vitamin drink, which has vitamin C and D.

Can someone please identify the mold or tell me the reason why it changed colour?? Thank you! UwU

Question/Advice Mold and caved in ceiling

We’ve had some HEAVY rain in Kentucky this past week. I notified my landlord on Friday that I noticed a leak and what looked like mold forming on the ceiling and maintenance said they’d come on Monday to check it out. But by Sunday morning, the ceiling had caved in and now I’m worried about breathing all of this in 🤢 is this something to be concerned about?

Maintenance will be here tomorrow but my partner and I are trying to figure out what kind of assistance we should expect from our landlord. We regretfully do not have renters insurance.
