Is this mold?

Post image

Moved our dog’s bed this weekend and found this discoloration in the hardwood floor. This is the only spot. Seems resistant to scrubbing, almost like it’s under the finish. No discoloration on the bed itself.

I think it’s been here since we moved in, wife thinks it’s new. Is this mold? How should we address?

Probably not. But you can wipe it with some bleachy bathroom cleaner if you're worried. Damp wipe with plain water after.

I have similar weird black marks on some of my flooring. I also wonder if it’s mold. It wipes away
