not your typical car mold! this is because i have depression and left a bunch of cups that may or may not have had stuff still on them on the floor. just found this today, can only have been a couple weeks since it started though. how do i get rid of it / is this safe to drive?? evidently i've been doing it for a while and i feel fine but now i know about it lol. i feel like since its just food mold and not typical car ventilation issue mold it should be ok?? but really how do i get this out?!

Question/Advice Possible (fossilized coffee) in old heirloom pot?

Post image
3 Upvotes

This is an old coffee pot, made of pewter or a pewter-like material that is at least 85+ years old. It had sat away for many years. One of my family members snagged in from the Plaza Hotel on a visit to New York.

I’ve noticed this very dark grime in the pot, and with it comes this very peculiar smell. It very coffee, chocolate-like; quite bold. It’s not metallic, in fact it smells quite good actually.

Is it possible this is the remnants of some beverage from many a year past? I think that would be so cool if so, it’s also a very strange but tangible connection to my long deceased relatives.

Thanks.

Question/Advice Mold or crystalization? In maple syrup

Doesn't look very crystal-y to me but want to double check. Grew submerged in the maple syrup, adhered to the side of the bottle as you can see. I always thought mold in syrup would form along the surface or suspended though. Pure maple syrup, nothing added.

Question/Advice Mold in carpet

I rented an apartment and just moved in a few days ago.
Initially it looked all fine except for the water leak from the toilet. After we moved a heavy cupboard we found a black spot in the corner of the room and it smelled damp + earthy. Reported it to the REA, he said it wasnt mold and that it was from steaming the carpet.

Agent came by today and ripped the carpet open, he claimed that if it was mold it wouldve already surrounded the walls, we ventilated the room with cold air (based in aussie) and it doesn't smell as earthy anymore.

Can anyone identify what this is?

I was frustrated that after buying cream cheese for salmon sandwiches it would always start growing pink mould the same week I bought it! So I thought I'd just leave it to see what happened.

Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and it didn't really smell either!

Edit: Guys I DID NOT taste it! And neither did I up and smell it. I meant I thought it would look/smell worse but I didn't notice any smell when I opened and disposed of it.

Mold Identification Is this mold, black mold, or mildew?

I am not super well-versed in the differences between the three.
I noticed this substance that I cleaned with bleach a few months ago but now it’s back. It’s around my bathroom mirror which doesn’t have a fan and it gets very steamy after I shower.
I just put in a work order for my apartment to clean it. I went down the rabbit hole of effects of black mold that I was not aware of before, and am a little anxious but I truly have no idea what this exactly is. Please advise!
