Smaller than realized which is fine for us. When I informed the property manager of the mold, I was told it’s natural for it to turn dark from the framing behind it. They didn’t listen and I wasn’t trying to benefit from it, but there was containers that absorb moisture which is an indicator that there is an issue. I was letting them know what I found.
