Is this black mold?

The first one is right at the top of my bathroom door and has slightly gotten bigger over the past two years. The others are on the shower door. I clean the shower but it still returns. I’ve been really worried and been putting off posting about this here out of fear because we don’t have enough money to move out or hire any professionals.

I live in Denmark if this is any helpful

also is this like dangerous to be sleeping close to? it’s like a couple inches in length the picture might make it look bigger but it’s still really concerning and the whole wall has been wet it this area and there’s sever water damaged all around it too so i’m willing to bet there’s more we can’t see

discovered the water damage and news about first leaking a couple weeks and then it got worse this past sunday from a ton of rain and the whole wall was wet and dripping and the carpet underneath this spot was soaked, it’s in the bedroom btw

Already called someone out. I hadn't noticed anything since we installed these a couple months ago. Also didn't notice anything before my husband left for work about 2 weeks ago and only used the washer once! I'm so scared of this affecting my health and the cost of repair since they will most likely need to demo and replace most of this room. Anyone have any similar experiences??

How to remove this kind of mold

Hi I live in an ADU in a dry climate and the bathroom doesn’t have a ventilation system. I usually open a small window to let moisture out when taking a shower, but this mold keeps on coming back on the ceilings only. There’s no second story. Any ideas?

Hi! Is this some kind of mold of these books? We got this book collection from a storage unit and are wanting to put them in our house but we are unsure if this is mold or not.

Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated. We don’t want to place these books in our home if there is a chance that it is mold. Thank you so much!

Dehumidifier and Remediation

Ohio, USA. My husband and I were leaving for vacation and realized that somehow our HVAC fan got set to “Continuous On” instead of “Auto”. We have experienced historic rain and humidity and I checked the house humidity and it was 69%. We looked at our register vents and found that the lip surrounding the vents was molding. The flooring is only about 7 months old, so the growth looks relatively new and the mold company said that it’s likely because of the fan being set to “on”. They said to get my vents cleaned and cleared out and then they would come in and clean the surface mold, fumigate the air, and spray the inside of the vents. My question: They said that I need to get a dehumidifier installed in my downstairs laundry room ASAP (split level house). There’s a drain down there and it would just need the drain hose put there. The dehumidifier they want me to purchase through them is $2000. Would it be just as good to get a nice 2000sq ft dehumidifier with a hose for like $250 online? My house is about 1500sq ft for context. I’m getting my vents cleaned today so that the mold people can come in and spray and clean surface mold, but I wanted to ask. Pics attached.
