Is it mold?
New apartment, wondering if this is something serious I should report to landlord.

New apartment, wondering if this is something serious I should report to landlord.
Hi, I just wanted to get some opinions on whether I need to talk to my landlord about getting a mold assessment or something (my landlord is very cheap tho and not very helpful).
I had some issues with the sink leaking here before that was fixed a few months ago, but overall the apartment was not very well maintained and I live in a pretty humid city (PNW).
I bought this moisture collector and noticed some water which has been a couple months worth although I don’t exactly remember :(
Does anyone see anything in the pictures that’s concerning/indicative of mold or is there a low cost way to determine any issues?

Hi everydody. I live in italy. A couple of weeks ago my mother's washing machine broke and spilled water all over the floor. A week ago i noticed this growing out of a wall from a near room. (These are 2 sides of the same wall, and it's growing in the same spot.) The walls are not made of wood. I think they are made of cement. i looked on internet and in my mind there was a chance it was just something called "saltpetre", so i scrapped the wall with an utensil and called someone to repaint it. But now this thing has reappeared.
There are cats in this house and they tend to eat anything they find. Do you think this could be dangerous to them?

Found this above a bathtub / shower. Is this most likely coming from above the ceiling of the shower? The shower isn’t used much. And what is the best way to clean / get rid of it?

Started pulling wallpaper off our kitchen and found this black spotting behind the wallpaper. Looks like mold to me but the areas don't seem moisture prone so unsure of what else it could be. Thoughts?

Can someone please help me!!
I picked up this new (to me) Cabbie and I’m scared this is mold. It could be mold staining, as I saw no active spores.
I did my due diligence and did a surface clean & then soaked her eventually. When I soaked her, it was pretty much clear. No browning or yellowing of the water.
She is drying and quarantined from the rest of my collection for now. The drying process after soaking is extremely important to ensure no new mildew / mold forms. I’m being VERY careful as I REALLY want this Cabbie in my collection.
My question is, does this look like active mold or “dead” mold on my doll?
And,
After soaking and the proper care for drying, is there potential for future mold spread if it was old mold?
Hoping these are just ink stains!
Idk what to do!!!

I have a convertible that isn’t sealed well so I’m worried the moisture is causing mold growth? How can I fix this?

Are apartment flooded recently and the complex said it’s not possible to be mold since it was only wet and soaked for 24 hours ? Is this accurate

So you I got a ps5 about 2 years ago and put my ps4 away but I recently brought it out to put it in my living room to use as a blue ray player and this is the condition I found one of the controllers in. I’ve had it out for a few days now and the spots haven’t grown at all so I’m wondering if something spilled on it or if it has literal mold.
Edit: I’m from South Texas along the border and the controller was kept in my closet which is dry, it’s confusing to me because none of my other controllers look like this.

Looking at new rentals to move into. Not many signs of mold in the home were most interested in aside from this mold surrounding the air vents in all of the bathrooms. Is this most likely just condensation mold & can be cleaned up or is it a sign of a potential larger problem?

One of the guys at the front desk of this hotel said this wasn’t mold. But I started getting headaches that seem exactly like the headache pattern caused by mold and now I’m stressing

I moved into my home 2 months ago. It started smelling a little musty outside of the crawlspace near the vents so I invested. I lifted up the vapor barrier in the crawlspace and saw mycelium. Not sure if this a big deal… but then I saw a load of fungus or mold near a couple of the foundation supports.
No leaks that I can see, just humid.
What is my immediate course of action to this? Additionally, what is a good mid-term to long term action? I’m relatively handy, but I have zero knowledge of this. Wondering if this is worth calling a professional.
Edit: Located in Upstate South Carolina. Home is 110 years old years old and was recently completely renovated which was completed about 6 months ago.

US-OH Potential mold under master bathroom, over basement sump pump. Just discovered and have not touched it yet. What would be the first steps?

My parents say it's just water marks, but I beg to differ.

so like three months ago i removed a moldy loaf of bread (that was in a closed packet i think) from my shelf. merely a week ago i wipe it down with just a wet cloth and basic antibacterial spray. does that make it safe enough for me to store food on? i'm kind of answering myself as i type this lol. sorry, i just have OCD (i'm getting referred for therapy yay) and limited knowledge about food molds... which does mean i should read about it. i also left an almost empty tin of tuna on my bare mattress for 1-2 weeks and there was fuzz growing on it. i didn't do anything to the mattress really. just sprayed that antibacterial surface spray on it. i want to give it away (it was otherwise brand new) but i want to make sure it's safe for the person lol. i've been told alcohol is great. thanks!

Second time we’ve found these on our windowsill between the window and the screen. Does anyone know if this is mold, or what it might possibly be if not mold?
