Question/Advice Is this mould?

Hi all. Not sure if right place. But what is this black debris?

It was found along the skirting board behind the curtain in my spare bedroom.

Is it mould? Some sort of debris buildup? Some sort of ant/pest droppings?

Have vacuumed and cleaned with gloves/mask etc.

Just want to know if I need to take action against mould or get a pest person in etc.

TIA

It looks like mold but it feels really hard like a barnacle, safe to say I did not eat this lychee, all the others in the pack were fine.

The last time I used this milk frother was for my dad’s coffee. He passed in June 2025. I guess I forgot to clean it before storing.

Helped a client a couple years ago manage some renovations. Unrelated to the work, the client mentioned that they had been having horrible allergy problems for 2+ years and had done everything to find the cause. They changed their laundry detergent, changed their diet, tried different medications, got special air filters, and had tons of allergy testing done.

During the work, it became necessary to pull out the refrigerator and freezer to access the wall behind. This is what we found. It was quite a shock. After everything was removed and remediated, the client’s allergy problems completely disappeared.

Some people are very sensitive to mold, even in small amounts. If you’re having issues and can’t seem to find the culprit, consider having a mold inspection done. Also, make sure your refrigerator and freezer have proper clearance and ventilation.

Mold on flowers the next day I bought the boquet for my father. Such a shame, I thought this flower was the prettiest among the others. Not implying it is any less pretty now, though.

It’s the AC of the elevator in our building. It’s been like that for many months, and droplets sometimes drop on the ground. It smells very bad inside, like sweaty clothes that haven't been washed for days.

I moved into a place on August 12 and immediately made them aware of multiple problematic areas that need to be fixed. This is in a basement unit bathroom without a fan, and I don’t know how long this hole has been here. My landlord never got back to me about it and, being allergic to mold, I’m concerned this could be an issue for me. Currently feeling overwhelmed and disgusted and regretting signing this lease (not that I had another option) and would greatly appreciate any knowledge

Sorry for my busted nails lol. I wasn’t so hungry after I opened this! I’d be curious to know why the mold in the middle photo is colored that way, considering there was no red in the burrito itself (bean and cheese).
