Bristol mum with new baby says flat is so damp it's growing 'mushrooms and fungus'

A Brislington mum with a four-month-old baby is worried about damp and condensation in her housing association property, claiming there is 'yellow fungus' growing next to her front door, black mould on the walls and 'mushrooms' growing on the mat in the communal area of her building.

The young mother, who did not want to be named, said she continually cleans her walls to try to get rid of black mould, but she was shocked to find what appeared to look like a fungus growing next to her newly-installed front door. She said her door had been broken down by paramedics when she was pregnant last year, and was repaired in December.

Currently on maternity leave from work, she said she was shocked to find something growing next to it. She said: “I’m glad my baby is not crawling and couldn’t reach the yellow fungus that was growing at the bottom of the door.”
