Mushrooms growing in shower - mold?

Hey Everyone,

Over the past few weeks I’ve seen some of these little white mushroom like plants growing through the grout / tiles in my shower.

Is this mold? Any ideas to remediate? Should I be concerned / is it harmful?

thanks for y’all’s help..

 

You could start selling them to offset gas prices

 

Or clean your bathroom….

scrubbing bubbles?

 

Wtf

 

Bleach and a specific mold remover/cleaner… remove the grout i that area and let it dry out a few days before using caulk in those corners

 

Will do. Thank you!

 

A little bleach, scrubber, and elbow grease will make it all better faster than greased lightning!

 

preciate it!!

 

Must be a joke ( I hope)

 

Wish it was. This is at a rental property of mine

 

Bleach and mold cleaner. That has not seen any cleaner in a good while. I have a rental house also, some people are filthy animals.

 

when vegetables are growing in the filth it might be time to suggest the tenants hire a cleaner come at least a couple times a month

 

That explains so much. I have weird stuff happen at mine as well.

 

I am In the crawl space now and besides the ground moisture, there is some dry rot but none of the joist are currently wet. Seems like there may of been an overflow in the past that was never addressed.

My guess is the humid TN weather we have is compounding the warm showers and lack of cleaning.

Installing a dehumidifier in the crawl space and going to redo the grout like others have suggested. Maybe install a more powerful exhaust fan

 

If there is that much growth there, it is time to do a renovation. If there is enough mold/mildew to provide a base for mushrooms to grow, you have most likely have moisture behind the surface.
I dealt with toxic black mold at our barracks at Ft Bragg, nasty stuff.

 

Wire the (oversized) exhaust fan to the light so it has to come on. Get that moisture out of there.

 

Or a humidity sensor.

 

A couple of sprays of this and that'll clear up. Weekly sprays will keep it from returning.

 

Thank you, I’ll put that in my pocket as a get out of jail free card…….
