It’s pretty normal for harvested gourds to get a little mildewy during the drying process but I am very curious about the pattern here. Lmk if you have insight on the specific mold or why it’s growing like this.

hi! i found these dots in my toilet yesterday that have seemingly appeared out of nowhere, i’m pretty sure it’s mold but i wanted to confirm?

i was just confused as it kinda just appeared instead of gradually forming, any help would be great!

Mold Identification Is this mold?

I received this from a friend who said they used to play with it in the water. I got a bit worried that the toy could have mold, due to that information and the black spots. But when I keep inspecting the toy or asking a friend, they all say it could be ink because "mold doesn't do that", but I know, from my school lessons and research, that mold can in fact ingrain themselves in plastic. So I decided it's better to ask in a place where it could be identified.

I also tried using a microscope I had to check and take pictures, some of them are kinda bad due to the screen glare..

Additional information: I have already soaked the toy in warm water, mixed detergent in and scrubbed it before leaving it in the pot for 30 minutes. Then, I scrubbed the toy once more with detergent, washed it, dried it up with a cloth then a blow dryer and put it in the napkin on the picture.

For what it's worth, the picture's color seems to have a bit of saturation that isn't apparent when seeing the bread in person

Ever since I turned the heating on this fall, I have had terrible symptoms. Swollen painful tonsils, red crusty eyes, ear pain and drainage, terrible, terrible asthma. The filter was clean, but this looks so nasty. Please tell me what it is and what to do. I live in an apartment and when the maintenance guy changed the filter, he didn’t say anything about it.
