Identification Photographs of Black Mold in Buildings - what does black mold look like?

BLACK MOLD in the LAUNDRY ROOM [photo] may look like this extensive case. In cases of large areas of visible mold, unless the mold proves to be

only HARMLESS COSMETIC MOLD, [photo] professional cleaning is probably needed.

Look closely when inspecting or collecting test samples of "toxic black mold" because often there are other molds, sometimes more harmful and more easily airborne mold species on the same surface, on the hidden side of the same surface of drywall, or nearby.

These include lighter colored genera/species of Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp. etc. which are too often missed when investigators or building owners focus only on "black mold" testing.

Tiny Stachybotrys TOXIC BLACK MOLD [photo] on drywall behind a laundry room baseboard. If this is all that's present this is a trivial cleanup and does not need testing and remediation.

But if this is a "tip of iceberg" clue of a larger hidden problem in the wall, or if it might be, further investigation, at least exploring the wall cavity, would be appropriate.

BLACK MOLD on ROTTING SUB-FLOOR photo] below a leaky sliding glass door - this "black mold" was Taeoniella rudus for which no medical issues have been reported - a wood rotting organism though.

An investigation of the source of outside leaks and extent of damage to the structure were needed at this building.

BLACK Stachybotrys chartarum MOLD on WALLPAPER [photo] below a leaky window. The window had been left open more than once during rainy weather. We found that water was leaking into the wall cavity, not just behind the wallpaper.

Replacement of a small section of drywall, wall cavity insulation, and wallpaper were appropriate at this location where the first symptom was loose peeling wallpaper which exposed black mold.

a SMALL TEST OPENING CUT [photo] into the wall cavity and contaminating fiberglass insulation in a NY City high rise apartment after water leaked from an A/C condensate line into the metal track of the metal-stud wall.

LARGER WALL OPENING CUTS [photo] to look for hidden mold and

final DEMOLITION [photo] exposed a very extensive toxic mold colony in this building. Lab processing of a tape sample of this mold was necessary to identify it.

Notice the funny black mold growth pattern on the cavity side of the opposing drywall. This pattern maps the points of contact of the wall insulation kraft paper with the drywall surface, and the movement of moisture and spreading mold growth on the wall surface.

It is characteristic of wall cavity mold and is different from the growth pattern of mold growing on a freely exposed-to-air drywall surface.

BLACK & HIDDEN MOLD in FIBERGLASS INSULATION [photo] in a basement exposed to prolonged wet conditions from a wall leak at a water pipe entry point. This mold was almost hidden except for a small mold-suspect patch and larger water stains on the exposed side of the drywall.

The wall cut exposed a surprise point of water entry. Black mold was visible on the insulation kraft paper.

The problematic mold in this case was not visible but was found by a special sampling technique we used to examine the building insulation for Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp. (problem molds) in the fiberglass.

It was found to be highly contaminated and was determined to be an active reservoir releasing high levels of airborne mold into the basement.

More Photos & Close ups of Black Mold on Building Surfaces

Our mold photo above shows black mold colonies growing among green mold colonies on a laundry room ceiling, covering both plastic ceiling tile material (around the plumbing pipes) and drywall.

Below are dark mold spots growing on asbestos insulation on a heating pipe.

It is often the case that multiple mold genera/species may be growing in the same area, often on the same surface, and at times, on top of one another.

As we advised earlier, look closely when inspecting or collecting test samples of "toxic black mold" because often there are other molds, sometimes more harmful and more easily airborne mold species on the same surface, on the hidden side of the same surface of drywall, or nearby.

In this building that was still wet at the time we took this photograph, the airborne level of Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp. (the green, gray, and light colored molds in the photo) was very high while the level of airborne Stachybotrys chartarum, Cladosporium sphaerospermum, and Nigrospora sp. Black mold level found on these surfaces was very low.

Our photo at above right shows black mold colonies as smaller "spots" growing on the painted surface of cloth covering asbestos pipe insulation.

Our black mold photos above and below show dense black fungal growth on drywall (black mold on Sheetrock™ type wall surfaces) in areas that have been very wet.

The distinct top edge of mold growth may mark a flood water level or a discontinuity in the wall material, such as a tape joint in drywall that affected the moisture gradient in the wall and thus the mold growth pattern.

Close up Photographs of Black Mold on Building Surfaces

Here we begin to "zoom in for a closer look at dense black mold growth on indoor building surfaces in a wet basement.

Notice that the mold growth on drywall and often on other surfaces includes a family of circular growth patterns (upper area of photo at above right) until the mold growth has expanded to form a solid black covering (left wall of photo at left and lower wall of black mold in photo at right).

Our photo at above shows black mold colonies as individual rounded "rings" on the cavity side of drywall on a building crawl area wall.

The black mold photo above shows how dense black mold may be hidden from view behind wall baseboard trim (removed for this picture) in a building that has suffered wet floors.

...

Black mold growth on furniture is obvious in these two photographs (above), of a mold on a leatherette surface and on an upholstered chair (second photo below).

 

In our photo above left we see black mold and other mold growths on the kraft paper facing of fiberglass building insulation.

Our black mold photo above shows that mold colonies do not always grow in the neat round ring-like colonies shown in some our earlier photographs.

Here in the photo above we start to zoom in our photographs of black mold on building surfaces to show what mold colonies look like on close inspection in-situ.

This is mold on water stained drywall in a basement utility area.

Above are small mold colonies that have appeared on a kitchen ceiling in just a few days after a heating system leak led to high indoor moisture and humidity levels.

Much more closely we can examine an individual black mold colony on a painted drywall ceiling (above).

Below, in the microscope at 1000x we can see individual spores of Stachybotrys chartarum - a well known black mold that is often found on indoor building surfaces.

Other Examples of What Mold Looks Like in Buildings

Question: Is this stuff on my ceiling mold?

I just moved into a rental trailer and it had a strong musty smell. I thought, maybe it hasn't been aired out. well, after two days of doors and windows open, it still smells.

I found the brown discoloration on the ceiling in the kitchen cabinets. Is it mold? Thank you, - L.B.

Reply: maybe not, but those water stains mean there may be a significant risk of hidden mold indoors

Your photo shows some heavy staining on what looks like suspended ceiling tiles. The brown stains themselves may not be mold but rather brown materials carried by roof leaks into the ceiling structure. Older trailers and mobile homes often have leaky roofs.

It looks as if water has also run down the wall surface and quite likely the wall cavity of the home below those same stains.

In this case the stains you see might not be mold but they do indicate that there is a high risk of mold in this home. Here are spots where I'd suspect a more hidden but possibly larger problem reservoir of mold when we see leak stains like yours:

• The ceiling tiles 
  
  may themselves be moldy on their upper or hidden surface, depending on what they are made-of. Even plastic-faced fiberglass suspended ceiling tiles that might not look moldy may in fact be contaminated if they have been wet.
  
  See INSULATION MOLD CONTAMINATION TEST.
• The back side of wallpaper 
  
  that has been soaked is often moldy.
  
  At HIDDEN MOLD in OTHER PLACES we include a photo of mold found behind wallpaper that looked just fine from the room side.
• If the walls are covered with drywall 
  
  behind that wallpaper, its cavity side may be moldy, though more likely your walls are paneled. Unpainted cavity side of wood paneling often supports mold growth and of course insulation within the wall cavity may be wet and moldy too.
• Finally, where we see significant stains 
  
  at a wall/ceiling juncture indicating a history of roof leaks that sent water into and down the wall, we take a close look at carpeting, carpet padding, and insulation that may be under the floor below.

I suggest having someone take a look at the insulation and floor condition in the area of leakage from below the mobile home. If that area is wet and damaged you can pretty much expect that there is hidden damage and mold in the ceiling and wall above.

If the damage is not so extensive that immediate major repairs to the structure are needed, but if there appears to be anything greater than 30 sq.ft. of moldy material, professional cleaning and repairs are needed. And the cleaning and repair work cannot be concluded before the leaks are fixed.

Watch out: in some mobile homes where there has been chronic leakage we have seen floors that were badly deteriorated and even collapse.

On 2023-12-13 by Tracy - what's causing these mold stains on my floors and carpets?

Nothing has been spilt as the bed was covering all of this. I think a leak has occurred as shown in this photo. Looks like water damage to me. We have had a ceiling leak that has travelled down the walls and onto the ceiling of the bottom floor.

This bedroom is on the top floor directly above where the ceiling marks are on the bottom floor. I can’t lift it without damaging it and it’s not my property.

On 2023-12-13 by InspectApedia Publisher - mold stains on carpet

@Tracey,

It's possible that those are mold stains particularly if there was a damp condition or something was spilled under the bed or something was on top of the carpet for quite some time that blocked air flow and held moisture.

Notice that there are two larger dark spots right by the edge of the wall that could have been from a spill or a leak.

The photo is a bit blurry so I'm not sure what we are seeing.

Normally if there were mold growth on carpet and you vacuumed it as marks clearly show this carpet has been treated, that would have been disturbed or smeared or partly removed.

I suspect this problem came from above not from the floor below but to be very thorough you could lift the carpet carefully in that area and look at its underside as well as the padding and the underside of the padding and the floor surface beneath that for signs of water staining or mold.

If you decide to be that thorough post additional photos so that we can see what you find.

One photo per comment but uses many comments as you need to add more images.

On 2023-12-13 by Tracey

Could these spots be from mould under the carpet. They are located directly under a bed so nothing spilt. Bedroom hallways has roof damage and mould in ceiling

Close up view of one part, hopefully not blurry. Prior to cleaning spots were a lot lighter in colour

On 2023-12-13 by InspectApedia DF (mod) - check under carpet for signs of water leak

@Tracey,

Thank you for those added details.

Certainly someone familiar with wall to wall carpeting and how it is a fixed to tack strips along the edges of the floor will know how to carefully lift the carpet and peel it back without damaging it. It's definitely possible.

But I agree that if you don't know how to do that or you're not comfortable doing it you don't want to try because you could tear the carpet.

On 2023-10-25 by Amie - what's this mold on a dresser?

This is a drawer from my daughter's bedroom. Clearly, something was spilled or leaked into the drawer at some point...but I'm finding more and more of this "mold" throughout the house, including the bed frame from which this drawer belongs. (Fits underneath mattress on trundle for storage.)

I know you cannot identify an exact type of mold simply by looking at a photo...but could you give me your thoughts on what type it COULD be?

On 2023-10-25 by InspectApedia Publisher - mold found in dresser drawer

@Amie,

There are quite a few molds that are white, brown, green, tan, gray, of different genera/species, not identifiable to genera/species by the naked eye; you'd need a microscopic examination by a trained expert.

So I could give some typical examples, species of aspergillus, cladisporium, trichoderma, ulocladium, penicillium, but in fact it's entirely speculative, so not useful nor reliable.

Fortunately, knowing the genera/species is not necessary to know what action is needed: remove the mold, clean the surface, fix the cause. In this case it looks as if there may have been food or some other mold-friendly material on that surface, and I think I see a bit of water damage.

On 2023-08-18 by Gloria - does my bathroom ceiling fan have mold on it

I was dusting my apartment recently and notified some weird small spots on the bathroom ceiling , then I saw something black inside the bathroom ceiling fan that looked alarming.

I’m still not sure if this is black mold or if it’s some sort of filter or filling ?? Can someone tell me if this is for sure black mold ? I have asthma and the bathroom has always had poor ventilation and moisture would puddle on surfaces in bathroom while shower is on .

I’ve lived in a lot of apartments with poor ventilation and some water condensation but never looked in the vent before and seen this . Please help !

On 2023-08-20 by InspectApedia Publisher -

@Gloria,

The dark spots on the drywall might indeed be mold.

But let's get a more-accurate perspective here.
The total amount of "black" material in your photos is much too small to be or raise a health concern by itself.

If there has been more extensive water leakage that has wet larger areas of ceiling drywall, that should be investigated further as there could be a larger, hidden mold reservoir.

Keep in mind that it is a fundamental and serious error to focus specifically or only on"black mold"

Of the several hundred mold genera species that are found growing in or on building surfaces and materials and among the more than a million mold genera/species, molds grow in every imaginable color, and plenty of very harmful molds such as species of Aspergillus or Penicillium are in other colors than black: red, green, gray, brown, yellow

On 2023-06-20 by Pavla - are these dark spots mold?

Hello, anyone can help me understand whether these darks spots on wood are mold? Thank you.

On 2023-06-20 by InspectApedia Publisher

@Pavla,

Yes that looks like mold.

 

On 2023-06-04 by NewHomeFlooded - my home flooded - is this stuff mold?

My home flooded with groundwater likely coming up over the foundation and we were able to get the area dry within maybe a week. After doing flood cuts, there are areas on the studs and framing that we noted looked like had black areas concerning for possible mold.

1) Is this mold or staining? It is somewhat curious that the pattern of blackness is not necessarily closest to the concrete floor where the water/moisture was greatest.

2) Could it be the "harmless cosmetic mold."

3) If the flood risk has mitigated and the wood moisture content is low using one of the moisture meters, is there other mitigation steps that we should take beyond spraying with fungicide, applying sealing paint, and putting back up the drywall? (There are some more pics if that would be helpful).

Additional Photo. In one area there are a few black spots on the wood framing; but there are parts not visible (eg. the side close to the wall or abutting the ground or hidden behind the dry wall further up near the bathroom where the water also came in).

Is there much benefit to investigating further if the mold extends up higher?

If we try to mitigate, would spraying generally in the area without a wipe down suffice prior to re-applying dry wall? Thank you for any advice!

On 2023-06-07 by InspectApedia Publisher - how to handle mold growth from flood in new home

@NewHomeFlooded,

There is some mold growth on those studs and quite likely on the remaining drywall that's down close to the floor and on the hidden surface between the drywall and the surface of the wood framing you may find mold..

Clean the surfaces, use a fungicidal sealant if you like, and be sure that any leak sources are corrected before the area is restored.

On 2023-01-07 by Victoria - is this mold on my OSB sheathing ?

Is this mold on the plywood by front door? The floor smells musty. Thanks!

On 2023-01-07 by InspectApedia Publisher

@Victoria ,

What do you see if you wipe across that dark stained area of the OSB sheathing?

Are there any signs of water leaks such as drip stains below?

On 2023-01-12 by Victoria

@InspectApedia Publisher,

Wiping across the surface leaves a pinkish and gray residue.

The drywall underneath this has mystery spots on it. They’re hard to see, so I’m including a photo with UV light on the area. The spots are very light grey and don’t wash off entirely.

Thank you!

On 2023-01-12 by InspectApedia Publisher (mod)

@Victoria,

The UV light, unfortunately, doesn't tell us anything about the identity of the material.

Clean the surface, paint it with a fungicidal sealant, and if there are no building leaks that ought to be the end of any concern.

On 2023-04-17 by Emily - I found a white spot on a cricket bag - mold?

Hello,
I recently found a white spot- approx 2o cent piece size on a cricket bag,= the bag wasnt wet nor has it been wet. It was the outside of the bag. it looked like a white dust. I wiped it off with my fingers and it brushed off without leaving any mark or trace at all- there also was no smell to it.

if it was Mold would it have brushed off that easily with no markings remaining?

On 2023-04-17 by InspectApedia Publisher

@Emily,

I can't say what that was, but by size, if that tiny spot was all that was present, it's not a worry. Clean it off.

 

 

On 2022-10-23 by Donnie - leaks in wall cavity can host a larger mold problem

Hello,
We moved into an apartment and noticed the HVAC system was leaking. 3 times maintenance came by to fix it. They realized they weren’t securing the drainage system so all of that water was leaking into the apartment behind the walls.

Maintenance advised they weren’t concerned about the damage that is clearly visible. Told us they would schedule a bit of drywall repair (that was a month ago).

Today I was unpacking and noticed a wall behind the HVAC system has either mold or mildew on it. It was hidden behind boxes.

Should I be more concerned about this than the complex is leading on? There is further damage on the baseboards, around the exchange area.

just adding more photos

 

On 2022-10-23 by InspectApedia (Editor)

@Donnie,

That looks like a combination of green mold on a wall, leaks in a plaster wall causing bubbling up and softening of the plaster surface, and also, in your third photo, more mold - beware of leaks in the wall cavity that could then be hosting a larger problem.

I would go to the most-suspect spot and cut out a 2"x 4" square to inspect the cavity side of the drywall as well as the wall cavity surfaces and insulation for leaks and mold.

On 2022-07-20 by Darcie - unknown Costa Rica white mold

My parents live in the mountains in Costa Rica. The climate is not that of the beach but it still is a mold haven. However, there is one particular mold that they have and I haven't seen it online anywhere.

I have been told that all the houses built in their town have it because the contractors mixed the cement with sand from a local river. It grows all along the cement wall at about knee-high, in a snake-like 'band' that is about 1.5" wide and usually travels the length of the wall. The mold is white and it grows to about two inches if left untouched.

My mom was in the guest house and her helper decided to take a broom to ALL the white mold growing in the tiny house and just flung it all into the air. A month later, my mom almost passed away from pulmonary hypertension. She was totally fine before this incident - well, COPD and a smoker but not this.

I suspect that her sleeping in that guest house, inhaling all those mold spores for days straight, may have caused this. Any idea what mold it could be?

I've asked them to send me a pic and i will post it when i get it. Oh - you can't get rid of it. You can clean and paint over it but it just moves up or down a little and starts all over. They paint inside annually. Thanks!

On 2022-07-20 by InspectApedia-911 (mod)

@Darcie,

I'm relieved your mom survived. Warn her that such mold exposure can make one hypersensitive in the future.

Never stir it up as she did.

No one can identify the mold from just your description. Probably not from a photo either.

We know Costa Rica and I've sampled a few of its thousands of mold genera/species in travels there.

Probably there are multiple species present, some more harmful than others.

Post photos, and let's think about sending a few mold samples to our lab. If that's if interest we'll discuss it further. (Pro bono).

On 2022-07-13 by Romy Hoey - is this furry mushroomy stuff mold?

is this mold? Mushroom like growth on metal stink pipe in RV When disturbed releases a cloudlike dust Black colour Sits out an inch or so from pipe but seems attached by little legs do not know if you received previous email )

On 2022-07-13 by InspectApedia-911 (mod) - Stemonolitis, the fruiting body of a fungus = mold

@Romy Hoey,

That's a species of Stemonolitis, a "mushroom" as you put it, is the fruiting body of a fungus = mold.

There is probably hidden mold nearby, due to a leak.

 

On 2022-05-29 by Kristin Dailey

Can anyone tell what this is?

On 2022-05-29 by InspectApedia-911 (mod)

@Kristin Dailey,

What are we looking at?
What materials?
Where ?
On a building?
Interior, exterior?
Water leaks?

On 2022-04-07 by Chad Breault - can black mold affect you when you enter a room?

Is this black mold. Can it affect you if you walk in room

On 2022-04-07 by Inspectapedia Com Moderator - Yes but health effects of mold exposure vary enormously

@Chad Breault,

Sorry but I can't make out what's in that blurry photo.

Watch out: it is a fundamental error to worry only about "black mold" - of the millions of mold genera/species and of the several hundred that are often found in or on building materials, mold color has nothing to do with mold toxicity. There are harmful molds of every imaginable color and hue found indoors in or on building surfaces.

The health effects of mold exposure vary enormously depending on quite a few variables including

- individual sensitivity (I've seen a highly allergic asthmatic person go into anaphylactic shock within minutes of entering a small mold-contaminated sound testing booth - Anaphylactic shock is a rare but severe allergic reaction that can be deadly if you don't treat it right away.

- the size and location and condition of the mold reservoir

- the mold genera/species - of which there will virtually never be just one single mold genera/species present.

- other building conditions such as temperature, humidity, fresh air ventilation, overall air quality, air movement

On 2022-01-31 by Discoloration Question - we were told to refinish this moldy floor

Was told that this area of the floor just needs to be refinished - since it has been covered by quarter rounds and trim since 1963. Is this discoloration from the wood not being refinished or is this mold? It is a bit wet because i was trying to clean it off.

On 2022-01-31 by Inspectapedia Com Moderator - wet quarter round and trim can develop mold

@Discoloration Question,

That looks like mold. If the floor was wet recently that would explain it: water runs under the quarter-round kickboard trim and can stay there for weeks - plenty of time to develop mold.

Clean the moldy wood or subfloor with any household cleaner and remove any moldy drywall and be sure the area is dry before restoring the trim.
