It *is* mold without a doubt, and your landlord should be ashamed of
herself for trying to dismiss this health-hazard.

Does this look familiar?

Later on that night, after I had entered this house to inspect the damage, I
became ill for at least a day.

If I had actually remained in that house overnight, I would
imagine that I would have needed hospitalization.
