Mold - Worst I've ever seen. Ever
(OP)
Was doing a structural evaluation of what is cheaper to do - demolish a building or make it weather-tight. Came across some crazy mold, thought I'd share --. Was from last year, forgot to share.

Ron- what is schlerotinia? My google search only led to plant fungus articles, like in peanuts and corn. No good pictures.
It oddly looks like spray-on polyurethane foam.

Can't even tell what the substrate is that it is growing on. The fungus? if that's what it is, that Ron mentioned is not common in these areas, but can be pathogenic. I've heard of it, and that's about it.

No it wasn't an old brewery. It's an old masonic temple that was sold and used as an apartment but was let go by the owner. Was odd that only ONE portion of the entire first floor framing had this mold. It was cordoned off or anything.
Location is Northern Pennsylvania. Not sure what kind of mold it is. I had a mask on but I was very very surprised when I walked in and looked up.
