What the fungus

What's that fungus?

Wear a mask, clean in an open space, buy and use a dehumidifier, maybe slather some a new paint job on the walls, vacuum more often.

Far as I remember, white - yellow is standard variety and less harmful. Red - black though, that's when you're fucked.

Accepting corrections.

Yeah I think moisture management is gonna be the main issue here IMHO

It rains frequently in the area. I don't even know anyone who uses a dehumidifier.

I'll try letting more sunlight into the room.

I can second the recommendation for a dehumidifier. It's made a huge difference in preventing mould growth in my home.

Do you live in a mangrove forest?

The area is a hill-station where it rains pretty often. But it's not very humid, like people don't sweat much + it's cold/moderate.

I am pretty sure this is how some zombie apocalypse stories start

Reading your comment made me remember when I had mushrooms poking out (downwards) of the bathroom ceiling in one house I used to live
