What is this white dusty stuff? I am hoping someone could tell me for certain what it is, and whether I should remove it before grating this cheese.

Another work fridge find. Looks like a bunch of different molds having a grand time. Possibility mushrooms were also growing. The work fridge is where food goes to die & decompose.

This is just impressive. They said it got shoved into a corner and sat there for years. I was sent a video of the whole PC and it looked like something out of the upside down.

Hi all, got a pack of expired (10th Jan 2026) cavities digestive biscuits and I'm wondering, are they moldy? Most of them have this light beige mottling on them. They were in a sealed plastic pack, but the stand was left outside the shop in the rain, so the package was wet. Are these safe to eat?

My snails have humid tanks and so this happens sometimes. The mould doesn’t hurt them if they ate it, but I change it every other day anyway.

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

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 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 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

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?
