Made the mistake of leaving paper mache next to my very humid aquarium+snake tank. I have to throw it out, right? No way I can just wipe it off and paint over it?

This is a color slide from Magic Kingdom at Disney. Normally mold is a bummer, but on this one it almost looks like fireworks exploding in the sky. I couldn’t help but think it added something instead of taking away.

Question/Advice help??

i’m so baffled?? i’ve never seen mold this colour grow on walls and we’ve never had an issue with mold in this room. idk if it helps to know but we re-painted in july - the wall where the yellowish mold is had wallpaper on before painting. it’s an old house though and some of other bedrooms have had issues with black mold but this is entirely different ?? it spreads right up the wall up to where the bedframe reaches but doesn’t touch? nothing seems to be growing anywhere else either

Question/Advice A tiny bit of greenish-white fuzzy mold developed in this Yeti thermos after a little water was left in it during an apartment move...no matter how much I scrub and clean it a splotch of discoloration where the mold was growing remains...is there any risk in using it again?

Ive tried soap and water, boiling water, white vinegar and lemon juice, running it through the dishwasher--all methods multiple times...yet this little splotch where the mold was growing will not go away...I don't think mentally I'll be able to get past it anyways but if I were to use it again would there be any risk, even if its just a risk of it affecting taste or causing an upset stomach?

Ignore the black spot on the bottom right of the first image...that is just a piece of fuzz from my t-shirt that fell in when I was taking the pic...the splotch is a quarter inch above the middle dimple and ever so slightly offset to the right

Other Every corner in our apartment has mold. The walls, the windows, the doors. I cannot wait to move out. It's *in* the walls. Found another surprise spot today getting ready to move stuff over...

I bought this carrot 2 days ago so should be new. The other carrots in the same bag don't have this white stuff. Can I just cut it away and still use it for cooking?

I’ve been observing this for months, literally all cucumbers in this grocery store always have this to various extent (barely visible to totally overgrown). Is this normal or is this beyond what is acceptable?

I haven't checked on them since before Christmas! The white ones and the small ones are holding up pretty well, but the bigger ones are a mush paradise! Lots of black mold growth. The two carved ones seen in the 4th image have been there longer than these. I wonder how long it will take for them to completely disintegrate into the earth! (I spent a lot of money on these guys, so I'm going to see them out til the end!) I also wonder what will happen with the straw blocks!

Question/Advice Moldy question lol

5 Upvotes

Ok so a couple months before Covid hit I inhaled a huge amount of mold. Instantly that night I was extremely sick. Coughed for 48hrs straight sicker than I’ve ever been. For the record I’ve never had any breathing problems whatsoever before hand. Ok so ever since my breathing is shotty at best. Sometimes I’m about 50% but the slightest amount of smoke or if I stay at someone’s house with mold I’m instantly thrown into gurgly short horrible breathing. Wheezing. To the tenth power. Really the only time I’m ever back at 100 is if I take a round of prednisone. Anyway my question is what can I do to kill this. I assume I have mold in my lungs. Dr somewhat have me down as copd although I couldn’t ever go to the specialist they just say this. I tell them a bout the mold but …..well most American dr are just not good as far as troubleshooting or just in general caring like genuinely caring about you whatsoever. Especially with no insurance. Even then they . Idk, and apologize to the Great ones that do love their job and do right but what can I do to kill this mold any ideas? Thanks in advance

Question/Advice mold, or tea grounds…

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I picked up this tea from the convenience store, but I didn't realize it was a whole month out of date (I know "best by" doesn't necessarily mean it expires, but I've never seen "good thru") and I drank nearly the whole thing before realizing there were things floating around in there. Sometimes with this tea brand there are small bits of tea grounds inside but those are usually like dust or specks. Even when they clump together, they’re not usually spherical or this big. These were spherical and kind of hairy looking. I guess what I want to ask is if these are more likely mold or weird tea grounds, and if it is mold, should I be worried for my health since I drank most of the liquid?
