I was looking at houses in Windsor Canada about 25 years ago. We went into this upscale neighborhood and everything was covered in black mold. It was right next to a whiskey manufacturer and warehouse. They said, "dont worry, just powerwash it off once a year, it's not harmful. " I didnt buy there.

That distillery actually paid a mycologist to research the fungus, who found it was from an unidentified species. (The fungus had been observed and collected before, but misidentified as something else.

They couldn't really do anything about it, but the distillery did spend some real money to see if there was a solution.
