Black Mold under sink?
I was drilling down through our sink cabinet to install a dishwasher, and I used a hole saw to drill the hole.
When I pulled the plug of wood out of the hole saw, I saw that there was a mold-like substance all over the bottom. (So on the bottom of the sink cabinet, hidden from view) I do see some previous water damage from possibly years before. It was completely dry and no new damage has occurred.
Should I be worried about any mold issues like mycotoxins? It was last night, and neither my wife or I have any sympotoms as of yet. But should I get an expert to come look at it or just leave it alone?
It was black and had the appearance of a lichen or a mold of some sort. (not mildew)

its not uncommon for there to be black mold growing under your sink...
It is best to remove the mold because it can lead to health issues.

I have found from experience that shower mold remover works best on wood. i would also recoment that you get a quart of a paint called "kills' because after you use the shower mold spray and wipe it off, this "kills" paint does a very good job of keeping it from growing back.
BUT, you would need to take sometime and look for a leak or bad caulking that started this problem in the first place.
good luck and if you want to edit your ? and ask me anything else , go for it.
