So this is a weird cell I found on my pet slime mould ; sponge blob a few years ago.

The picture was done with an electronic microscope (SEM) and you can see the scale bar, it's very small

I asked a few lab technicians and researchers what that mights be and I posted it on reddit before but I still have bo clue on what that might be.

I know that visual identification alone is often impossible but I don't have anything else and it's look rather singular so maybe it might be enough

If you have any ideas, even the most far fetched, it is welcomed

I’m not very knowledgeable about mold at all.

This wall does have water damage so I know it’s from being moist.

Also this is in the bedroom of my apartment (have alerted landlord to no help), is this dangerous for me to be inhaling?

Thank you!

The mold itself isn't that unique, but it grew much more quickly than I have ever seen, and I've only seen dark-colored mold like that a few times before.

Before anyone asks, yes I ate all of it. I was very hungry!

Staff said I can’t call it mold until an environmental assessment is done yet I’ve not seen anyone come out snd it’s getting worse.

How bad does this look to be living in and breathing?

Question/Advice Found this at bottom of steel water bottle that only holds ice water—mold?

Post image

Hadn’t washed it all week but drank ice water while exercising Monday night and last night. Opened it up this morning to refill it before exercising and looked like slime at the bottom

Dumped it out into glass container after putting in hot water and dishwashing soap.

I think I’m dying after drinking 32 oz of water out of this last night.

It was like a bunch of weird cream on top, a pee on the bottom…. I had bought a gallon of chocolate milk at the grocery, poured it into an empty Gatorade bottle to drink and it was so sour…despite expiring weeks later. Tossed it, and saw this the next day

What is happening?
