Question/Advice WTF did I find?

Was clearing out my pantry and found an empty can of cashews kept for future storage. Opened it and found this abomination.

There looked to be pantry moths crawling on it and through the holes. I instinctively poked it and the film was taut like a drum. The lid was sealed and I didn't find any holes for air exchange or anything to get in and out of th3 container. I put it in my microwave to observe this.

I assume it must be some kind of mold on top. How are the moths staying alive? Is there an entire ecosystem inside this jar?? I'm wary of just tossing it before destroying with fire.

Not mould but somethings not right.. Apparently some kind of fungus. Thought I'd make a dent and delve into my tinned food....maybe not!... (pretty sure I bought this about 6 months ago, so must have grabbed the out of date can, I definitely haven't had this for 5 years!)

Question/Advice Never used my apartment balcony- went on it finally and saw this

Post image
1 Upvotes

The title mostly says it all but I moved into an apartment several months ago that has a balcony, but it’s 90+ degrees and humid all year and I live by a highway so it’s too loud and hot to ever go on it.

I decided for the first time since moving in to actually step outside onto the balcony and when I turned around to go back inside a moment later, I saw the door looking like this. Is this black mold? I literally don’t know what to do because I don’t know what it is.

my roommate made this squishy about 2 months ago and all it has in it is some premade galaxy Elmer's glue slime and they put it in a bin and forgot about it until they were looking through said bin. i assume this is mold. ive never had slimes mold before so what caused this?
