What kind of mold is black, gooey, and undetectable, smell-wise, until you get close?

I found it hiding in my room behind one of my cabinets. I sprayed the hell out of it with Lysol and wiped up what I could, but part of the cabinet is stained, and the floor directly underneath the streak has black specs on it.

 

[Q]

Actually, it doesn't sound like mold, sounds like something leaked or spilled and turned gross. What does it smell like when you get close?

I think I heard this joke once.......












Clorox would probably clean it up. Not sure what'll do to the carpet/cabinets/walls though.

 

[ris]

not sure but i've seen damp go black flecked like that, check the area is as well ventilated as it can be and check it regularly to see if it comes back.

 

[fury]

Smells definitely like a mold. It certainly wouldn't be the spoiled result of anything I had on there, because I don't put liquid stuff on there. I have my alarm clock and my lamp.

 

[Q]

Does it look like it came from behind the wall?

 

[fury]

No, it looks like something just jumped up out of the ground and stuck to the side of the cabinet. I noticed the padding on the bottom of the lamp is warped, but I'm not sure whether that is related to this, caused by this, or if it's been like that.

 

[fury]

There's a puddle on the ledge on the bottom of the cabinet that was composed of the stuff, it looked and felt kind of like tar but smelled like mold.

 

[ris]

you haven't suddenly missed any pets have you? no passing ateroid land nearby?

 

[fury]

Nope

 

[Q]

Any chance the boys might have had something to do with this? Not necessarily on purpose, but possibly a little accident they might have not wanted to mention?

 

[fury]

I suppose, but up until 3 hours ago when I cleaned the room, it was impossible to get around without knowing where to step.

 

[Q]

Why, cuz it's messy or because of the invasion of the blob?

If it's cuz it's messy, I'm quite sure the little buggers can maneuver around that kinda stuff like little atvs
