Mold infestation on wood/wood paneling

[Slottsfrun]

If you're not sensitive and bothered by it, then just forget about it and move on; microbial growth stops when it dries up, so it won't spread.

Hope you're right about that. Was considering if I might try to find a method to measure mold in indoor air. Any tips?
Another good idea might be to get an air purifier with a HEPA filter?

I'm not a mold expert, I think you should try to forget this and move on😊

Yes, I'll try to do that… Thank you for your help on the subject!

No, it is not common for internal wood such as ceiling paneling to be or delivered moist and moldy. These wood materials should therefore absolutely not be stored in unheated spaces.
The requirement is a dry indoor climate both with the supplier and at the construction site.

This is followed on most construction sites because no builder has charged double for the job to redo the work when the panel dries apart or is complained about due to microbial growth…

That you try to downplay the seriousness of this I don't understand at all, as there is a clear way of handling that the market follows…

Yes, but you almost claimed that the panel is so moist that it should not be used. I have just said that a little visible growth in the form of, for example, black spots is nothing to worry about. The parts that were even uglier have been cut away. It is precisely the black spots that are quite common and rarely require any action. They sometimes appear quite quickly and just by being under a tarp, the climate becomes poor, but that doesn't mean everything is moist and should not be used. The rest of the ts fear is almost from the writers in the thread. completely unnecessarily.........

yes, but it is almost you who have claimed that the panel is so damp that it should not be used. I have only said that a little visible growth in the form of, for example, black spots is not something to worry about. The stuff that looked even worse has been removed. It is specifically the black spots that are fairly common and rarely require any action. They sometimes appear quite quickly, and it's enough for it to be under a tarp for the climate to be bad, but that doesn't mean everything is damp and should not be used. The rest of the OP's fear almost comes from the writers in the thread. completely unnecessary.........

Would like to have some facts and support for what you are saying because mold and growth do not happen without an elevated moisture level in wood..
As I said, are these your own thoughts and writings or do you have any basis for what you are writing?

Now you're just mixing things up in what I'm writing..........have I said that it molds if it's dry? Why don't you write more and create evidence for what you write, other than the scare tactics everyone writes about?.......
The only thing I wrote at the beginning was that it's not uncommon for there to be a bit of growth on lumber that may have been stored poorly and covered with a tarp or something. Exposed lumber can become black-spotted, and if it lies for a long time, it might get a bit fuzzy. Such affected lumber has been cut away and from what I understand, no lumber is so wet that it's unsuitable for use. That's what you're saying.
I'm just saying that such black spots are not uncommon sometimes and rarely require any action because nothing more will happen in a dry environment.
The elevated moisture level still concerns exposed lumber that is affected—Not that the entire board is wet and should be discarded or not used.
What the original poster was worried about was whether such things could affect the future. They can't unless the original poster is among the most sensitive people in the world.
