13 cases when people forgot about something for a long time, and then discovered a wonderful mold (14 photos)

These people not only share pictures of the weird mold, but also try to recognize its type and help get rid of it.





Even the cleanest and most tidy people have encountered mold at some point. These are quite tenacious mushrooms that appear unnoticed wherever there is moisture and nutrients. The first and most sensible reaction when faced with mold is, of course, cleaning.

This may seem strange until you see the very photographs where mold takes on the most unexpected shapes and colors, and also appears in the most unexpected places.
