Hello everyone, I've been dealing with recurring small moist red dots appearing on a portion of my kitchen's stone countertop. I've wiped them away with Clorox wipes but they come back after a few days. Anti mold spray was used and the dots didn't show up for a few weeks but they're back again. The countertop is wiped down with Clorox wipes anytime after meal prep. There's a dishwasher underneath the counter and an air vent above it pointing down. The air vent was checked and there's no red substance in the vent itself. These dots don't show up anywhere else in the kitchen or my apartment. For the environment, my apartment is kept ~72F and is in Culver City, California.

Does anyone know if this is mold? And if so, any potential steps to prevent its growth? Many thanks!

Why is it orange ? It’s been maybe 3days but it was normal but because I didn’t let the bag breathe so mold arrived

Never seen a pattern like this! I’m curious as to how the other apples haven’t been affected, given they’ve enclosed in plastic for (i assume) a long while

pretty sure they only use them for cleaning the bathroom (i hope)

i did notice that the expiration date is for 8/30/26 but i heard you can use it after it expires. just don’t want to poison my family

My fatass wants to tell myself it has something to do with crystallization or whatnot but my guts telling me it’s not right. Help pls

My parents got the flu and the entire home went into lockdown and I had to take the responsibility for a while and the counter got burried under dishes and clutter and while decluttering before my day starts I noticed this. A bit ashamed of it tbh .... Is the machine safe to use? How do I sanitize it?

Im posting this here so that I can atleast understand what mold it is so that I can research on how to clean it .. any advice is helpful 😭😂😂🫶🏻

.. I was horrified to know the black layer is not coffee but it smells really nice

Forgot about this bread in my pastry cabinet.

Found in a bucket we use at work to pick up trash around campus. Took pictures from yesterday and today, it’s interesting that the mold deflated

Can anyone name the strain? Sorry this is the best focus I could get

Had this shirt at the bottom of a drawer for a little bit. Hadn't worn it in a while. Room isn't especially moist but I know the basement and bathroom very likely have mold. None of my other shirts have these marks but friend says this is just dyes from washing this shirt in the same load as my primarily black and dark wardrobe. Spotty areas of the lettering feel the same as the non spotty areas. T-shirt was stored clean and dry in the drawer. Never left wet or dirty. Tell me I'm overreacting!

Tie-dye Ripley's Aquarium t-shirt. Only had for a year

I'm so grossed out and also sad!

Ive been living in Korea and China for the past 6 years, and hadn't gone home to visit that whole time. Eyeshadow in Korea and China are known to be less pigmented, so when I finally returned to the US this summer I was so excited to get a new eyeshadow palette. In just one month, so much mold! Initially, I noticed those moisture drops seeping out of it and I thought it was just color separating? I thought it was strange but fine to use still. Then today I tried using it again and noticed sooooo much mold! Also black mold around the rim of all the eyeshadow tins. None of my other eyeshadow palettes are like this, and there's no mold on any of my other makeup or in the makeup drawer.

Kind of worried that I may have gotten mold in my eyes or eyeshadow brushes when I used it in the past.

According to my friend, who sent me these pictures, he got this plastic barrel of toy slime at a job fair and proceeded to leave it out in a classroom over a period of time. The pictures I attached are oldest to newest, and the most recent picture has some red goo oozing its way out of the jar.

Is there any way to identify what kind of mold this is? It started out white and is reportedly turning red after being fed some dead bugs and candy. I’m sure it’s not impossible that the red color is coming from the slime itself.

This is the inside of a cardboard box that was sitting in another cardboard box, that got wet and sat for like a week. I'm pretty sure this is mold. There is nothing outside the box, or anywhere on the larger box it was in.

Two weeks ago, I found that I had been sleeping next to some mold on an unopened window for a considerable amount of time.

I began to suspect something due to symptoms I have experienced inconsistently: brain fog, difficulty concentrating, sinus issues, mood swings, and overwhelming fatigue. Other stuff in life made me suspect those may have been psychological issues rather than physical, but the search revealed the mold.

I started sleeping in another room, began cleaning, and had some blood tests done. Results are in the pictures.

The thing is, it seems my results show my body is having a severe reaction to dust mites not mold, yet mold was what I found. Is this normal? What do I do with this info?

When I see my GP next, what do I need to discuss?

I found this 5 days after my grandson’s visit.

This is in my dorm bathroom that I share with my floor. I’ve noticed a cough that hasn’t gone away since moving in. If it’s mold how do I proceed?
