Looks Alarming but Isn't You have begun your library inventory or weeding project with heightened awareness: mold could be anywhere, in many forms. It is easy to be overly vigilant, pulling books that are not molding. Sometimes distinguishing between mold and other marks in books is tricky. Not all alarming-looking marks are mold; look for other clues besides the mark itself to aid in identification. In this section we will look at a variety of marks, some more obviously benign than others, and explain the process of elimination. Images in this section are a general guide rather than a definitive roster. |
