Question/Advice Mold in carpet

9 Upvotes

I rented an apartment and just moved in a few days ago.
Initially it looked all fine except for the water leak from the toilet. After we moved a heavy cupboard we found a black spot in the corner of the room and it smelled damp + earthy. Reported it to the REA, he said it wasnt mold and that it was from steaming the carpet.

Agent came by today and ripped the carpet open, he claimed that if it was mold it wouldve already surrounded the walls, we ventilated the room with cold air (based in aussie) and it doesn't smell as earthy anymore.

Can anyone identify what this is?

This is on almost all the air vents in our house and was wondering if it looks more like black mold or dust?

Question/Advice Possible (fossilized coffee) in old heirloom pot?

Post image
3 Upvotes

This is an old coffee pot, made of pewter or a pewter-like material that is at least 85+ years old. It had sat away for many years. One of my family members snagged in from the Plaza Hotel on a visit to New York.

I’ve noticed this very dark grime in the pot, and with it comes this very peculiar smell. It very coffee, chocolate-like; quite bold. It’s not metallic, in fact it smells quite good actually.

Is it possible this is the remnants of some beverage from many a year past? I think that would be so cool if so, it’s also a very strange but tangible connection to my long deceased relatives.

Thanks.

Question/Advice Mold or crystalization? In maple syrup

Doesn't look very crystal-y to me but want to double check. Grew submerged in the maple syrup, adhered to the side of the bottle as you can see. I always thought mold in syrup would form along the surface or suspended though. Pure maple syrup, nothing added.

I’m a truck driver so I be away from home for a few days. I bought these bananas on Sunday and today is Tuesday. I came back home today to find this and was curious if it was still safe to eat.
