It's black mold and must be behind the drywall, and probably under the flooring--is that flooring or what I'm looking at? Anyway, it all needs to come out including the insulation. You'll want to clean really good with a solution of bleach and water. Be sure and wear rubber gloves and a face mask. Let it dry for a couple of days before redoing the drywall.

Don't try and save money on this one. Mold remediation may be needed here if you are to retain good health. I hope it goes well and you can move on with any home renovations that you want to make. =)

Those are serious mold spores that have been there a long time. Behind the wall must be saturated from a leak and all of the drywall, insulation, flooring, baseboards need to be replaced. Is this a 2nd story house? The leak could be coming from a bathroom upstairs & u will have to tear everything out, find the leak, & replace all materials. I am praying that this is not a disaster...but you should be concerned & should have a mold company evaluate the air condition to make sure it is safe to be in the house. Good luck.

Is it possible that you have a picture of two different things? mold & seeds that sprouted

So the first picture is from the drywall on the closet on the opposite side of where the dishwasher leak was. This is a second floor unit on a 2 story building. There was also similar looking mold/sprout on the dishwasher side (picture attached). I went ahead (armed with mask and hammer) and tore open the drywall between the dishwasher and the closet and didn't really find anything (just a little green/white mold that looks recent (picture attached). I've been at this place every day for a few months and never noticed this before so I don't think its been there too long..I really only noticed it a few days ago after restoring water to the dewinterized piping (so I tend to think that this mold isn't more than a week old). I tend to think you guys are right and I should play it safe and bring in some mold remediation people. Thanks for all the feedback.
