Forest of Ferocious Fungi, Part Deux

It has been less than a week since the mold mania we were exposed to under our bench seat.  The odor had dissipated, so we had thought that the problem may have been solved by our cleaning and drying.  We were ready to put the spore issue to sleep.

So, we were very disappointed to see more cotton candy growing on our bench wall when we took a peek.  That made the decision for us that we would rip out the bench seat to see what was going on.  Frightened we would find an outer wall full of mold, we cautiously removed the bench.

PHEW!  Not as bad as we thought, but, the wood is wet and beyond repair, at least at the bottom of the back.  There was  a spot of black...black mold? Not sure.  The carpet was dry but one area had the same black...which cleaned up fine.

We toyed with the idea of rebuilding the bench, or a least, replacing the parts that were ruined.  But, instead we opted for a new office chair.  Since Jo spends so much time at the computer, it made the most sense.  

Keep an eye out for our friend fungus!
