Hi folks.  I'm happy to announce we have a new article added to our library - Is it Mold or Plume?  This was put together by our member Rebecca Silverwolf.  I know this topic comes up a lot and a lot of folks wonder when they come across a stick that has growth whether it is mold or plume.  This article will help answer that question complete with pictures.

Thanks Rebecca!

Thanks.  I hate when I have to ask that question.
I'm right 98% of the time.  Who cares about the other 3%?

Nicely done article, Rebecca. I have yet to see a walk-in humi without a few moldies.....the owners invariably say"Oh, it's plume!"

Great article and I've read so much about the Plume/Mold that it just amazes me that B&M owners will still tell consumers that it's plume when they know it's mold.  I guess they don't want to see their sales go down or their reputation being torn down.  I've seen plume about  dozen times in my life...I get excited when I see it but I've also seen mold and trust me....there aint no excitement when I see it.

I've always said that this Forum is the best...the members here educate each other to help...it just doesn't get much better than that.  Thanks Rebecca!
