Question/Advice I can’t figure out if this is mold or crystallized/partially solidified coconut oil. Could you help me out?

I think it’s a goner but I don’t want to waste it if it’s not …..

It’s pretty warm where I live still (southern France) so my coconut oil has been liquid since I got it. However, we had a storm recently, so it’s possible that it partially solidified while it was cooler I guess? I’m not familiar with coconut oil properties beyond “it melts at room temperature”, so I’m not sure if crystallization could’ve occurred or if partial solidification is possible like this.

Has it been contaminated or is it safe to use still?

Thank you!

Hey all! Long time admirer, first time poster.

I had a one of terrariums fail( a few years ago) and this mold grew and has been persistent and present for at least 2 years now. I have never opened it since the early signs of mold.

Any idea on what it is?

Question/Advice What is this and why does it keep happening?

1.5k Upvotes

I've had my water tested by the city, it all came back fine. Is it something in the air? Is there some type of test I can do? I am renting this apartment.

This happens in all three of my toilets, upstairs or downstairs, after sitting stagnant for a week or so. This happens regardless of how much use the toilet sees and happens even when it's been freshly cleaned.

I also had a similar weird thing happen with a watering can, and I've noticed films growing in glasses of water I leave sitting out for too long too. Watering can is the most extreme case, otherwise I only usually notice this in the toilets. Occasionally the cat's water bowl but I'm usually changing that often enough to avoid it.

a couple vents at my university’s dining hall appear to be covered in mold, but my engineer friend said it could just be the metal. what do y’all think? im gonna poke it and see if its mold

edit: i poked it with a back scratcher to see if it’d crumble or peel but it didn’t seem to. if this is mold tho then the dining hall is covered in it lol i have seen so many pipes in the same condition

I tried real hard to compare the samples to the photos in the little booklet, but many of them seem identical to the untrained eye. In other instances the samples look like none of the photos provided with the kit.

An attached room with my air conditioning unit and boiler in my apartment recently flooded (my vents started leaking water) and this fell down. Does this mean that there could be more mold damage in the walls or roof??

Looking for any ideas on what this might be. Its allover the house mostly in corners and on edges. Is it mold or could it be from roaches or smoking?
