I've seen plywood turn black, from water exposure, but it never
appeared to be mold to me. If it's dry now, I've heard mold needs
moisture, then there is no mold then right?


I once had mold on a basement sheetrock wall. The mold died when the
room went back to its normal dryness, but the surface stayed black.

So I think there was dead mold. So what do you mean by "no mold"?
Does that include dead mold?


Sorry meant no active/live mold producing spores and hurting anyone.

It'll be inert, I'm guessing.



Might want someone to check it for you, a quick visit from a
handyperson, they can check if it's still structural.
