Default Identifying mold

Our basement flooded twice in the past month. The last flood was about
two weeks ago. A few days ago a dark green fur appeared along the
bottom of our walls in the basement. Also there was a greyish fluff on
the bottom on the ground in several spots.

Is this mold? Is there anyway I can check for sure?

We've only been living in the building since July and there was no
indication of mold until now. Is it possible for mold to appear so
quickly?

What would be the best way to clean it, if it is mold?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.


That's mold sure enough. Agree with the other posters re bleach and
dehumidifier. Also, ventilation; as much as you possibly can.
