What's this? I need it, please ASAP

This is from the wall of my bathroom.

This is scraped from the tiles in the background.

Is it some type of fungi? I really need to try our Investigatory Project, a Fungicide. It's chopped and ground onions in a litre of soap and water.

Mould? Dude, I'd say someone in your house needs to be toilet trained.

I assume its one of the most common wall moulds you can get and was caused by either a construction error when there is no way the rain water can drain off to because of an architectural mistake, a broken water line, or simply because there is not enough drainage material in the ground. Would be very suspicious to buy a house that has this before i havent heard an experts say on this. Imagine, this can mean theres a broken water supply line somewhere in the wall and the costs of something like this can be enormous. I doubt that a chemical solution will do it as you need to get rid of the acctual cause first. If there is not enough drainage around the walls, you need to digg out the wall and make sure there is no humidity coming through. If its water from the ground, a water pump might do the trick too. But you need to install the pump the way that it always is automatically turned on whenever the groundwater is at a certain level. Or you could put the house on stelts, what can cause substantial financial costs. You need to take wall molds very seriously. Some of them cause cancer, allergies etc. This is the brown one and i think its not know to be very pathogenic but i could be totally wrong. Also, when you have one mold, a second can be there too. bye Eg

If you want to send me a small sample I will identify it to the genus level using my microscope.

I actually have a bit of experience identifying moulds.

EDIT: Also, trying to identify moulds on a wall can be near impossible. Often moulds will grow next to each other and sometimes you might miss one of the species. Good to ID under a microscope and even better to culture a sample of the wall.

who cares wat it is its fuken mould kill it

best way to kill mould let it completely dry out (wich might not be easy if theres water coming from a pipe in the wall or rain outside)

then clean it with any old multi purpose cleaner

DO NOT USE BLEACH

it wont kill it it will just rehydrate it

it needs to completely dry out to be killed
