I've literally only opened this cabinet twice since we've lived here. Moving out and opened it up to be surprised with a bounty of green and yellow mold. Thought it looked pretty interesting, so enjoy!
Also, wondering if anyone knows what kind of mold this might be.
Currently moving out of my apartment and opened up this cabinet to find a bunch of mold growing in it. We've opened it maybe twice the whole time we've been here (2 years now) and mostly just had a few things that we don't use stored in it, like a fan and an old xbox. It has a sort of fishy smell with a hint of mushroom.
Some extra context:
- in upstate NY
- recently just got hot (90+ F; currently like 82 F inside)
- our house is usually really dry during the winter due to electric baseboard heating (enough to cause a lot of static shocks)
- the cabinet is in-between the washer (to the left) and dryer (to the right)
- no mold found on exterior of cabinet or in the drawer above it
Just curious what people think about it. Looking for some speculation about how it got there in the first place and maybe how long it's been there. I don't see any signs of moisture above it. Maybe that piece of glass just trapped some moisture underneath it and provided a nice place to grow, and then the water and mold dripped down to the shelf below it where the pan is.
It's really gross but at the same time it's kind of interesting to look at lol.
