Identifying Black Mold?

Hi there – in October 2007 my husband and I moved into this cozy basement suite. Two weeks after moving in, the sewage pump backed up (a tree root was blocking it) and gross water leaked into our suite and took almost 8 hours to clean out. A couple months later it happened an additional 2 more times within a week of each other (total of 3 leaks).

Since October I’ve noticed in some spots on our linoleum floor where the water reached there are black-shadow-like spots dotting areas of the floor. Could this be black mold? Is there a way I can identify this?

Any help anybody can provide me is greatly appreciated.

Okay my question is that I have a freezer that is caked in black mold… Here is the story, this freezer has been in my garage for about 10 years and the garbage in the garage grew bigger and bigger from kids in the house hold getting older, just this past week me and few others have been cleaning out garage and when i got in front of the freezer cleaned out I opened it and there was about 2 feet of black mold all over everything in there and remember it has been in there for about 10 years and I don’t know when or how it has been unplugged and past week it has been about in the late 80s early 90s and in the garage with it being 80s or 90s it reaches up to a 100 in the garage and it must have been unplugged a long time ago…I don’t know if it would be better to freeze it up again or just get masks and a compressed hose… Free 10 pnts for the best answer and any non-sense will call for a report and a spam report

There is a mold/fungi growing from my bathroom sink. I poured hydrogen peroxide down it, since a website recommended it. I’m scared this could be harmful to my family and I. What is causing it and what should I do?
