The presence of fungi or mould in an apartment is often a sign of improper maintenance or underlying issues with the house’s structure.
Recently, a Facebook user shared photos of fully-grown mushrooms and mould inside a condo apartment in Johor Bahru (JB).

Photos of the fungi-infested apartment were shared in a Facebook group on Saturday (7 Oct).
The post has since gone viral with nearly 1,000 shares within several hours.
In one of the photos, a cluster of mushrooms popped out from the corner of a badly stained wall.

MS News has reached out to the OP and R&F Princess Cove for more information. We’ll update this article when they get back.
