Because of this, fungi has started growing inside the apartment, <em>resulting in mushrooms sprouting from her carpet<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a title=\"mushrooms in apartment\" href=\"http:\/\/fox40.com\/2012\/12\/17\/mushrooms-sprout-up-from-mold-in-womans-apartment\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Report<\/a>, Natalie Wise and her 11-year-old son have lived in the Diablo Riviera Apartments on Fulton Avenue for two years. She says her landlord has done nothing to help with the flooding problem, even after mushrooms began to sprout up from the mold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI looked down to vacuum and I saw this (fungus growing in the carpet),\u201d Wise told Fox40. \u201cAt first, I thought he (Wise\u2019s son) had peeled an orange, and I got down closer and I realized it was a mushroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While apartment living often has its problems, no one should have to pay to live in an environment like this. It is especially troubling that someone with severe asthma would be living under these conditions. Mold effects indoor air quality and can lead to a variety of respiratory problems if left untreated.<\/p>\n<p><object id=\"flashObj\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"flashVars\" value=\"videoId=2042670173001&amp;playerID=1684488551001&amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAAACC1lKhk~,ZvV6UsgbjjZzy5iAEyU8skbXMqWBZ-rJ&amp;domain=embed&amp;dynamicStreaming=true\" \/><param name=\"base\" value=\"http:\/\/admin.brightcove.com\" \/><param name=\"seamlesstabbing\" value=\"false\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"swLiveConnect\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/c.brightcove.com\/services\/viewer\/federated_f9?isVid=1&amp;isUI=1\" \/><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"videoId=2042670173001&amp;playerID=1684488551001&amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAAACC1lKhk~,ZvV6UsgbjjZzy5iAEyU8skbXMqWBZ-rJ&amp;domain=embed&amp;dynamicStreaming=true\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"swliveconnect\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"pluginspage\" value=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/shockwave\/download\/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" \/><embed id=\"flashObj\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/c.brightcove.com\/services\/viewer\/federated_f9?isVid=1&amp;isUI=1\" flashVars=\"videoId=2042670173001&amp;playerID=1684488551001&amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAAACC1lKhk~,ZvV6UsgbjjZzy5iAEyU8skbXMqWBZ-rJ&amp;domain=embed&amp;dynamicStreaming=true\" base=\"http:\/\/admin.brightcove.com\" seamlesstabbing=\"false\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" swLiveConnect=\"true\" allowScriptAccess=\"always\" flashvars=\"videoId=2042670173001&amp;playerID=1684488551001&amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAAACC1lKhk~,ZvV6UsgbjjZzy5iAEyU8skbXMqWBZ-rJ&amp;domain=embed&amp;dynamicStreaming=true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" swliveconnect=\"true\" pluginspage=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/shockwave\/download\/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p><strong>H&amp;H Environmental Construction and Consulting provides mold testing and removal services for\u00a0<a title=\"Mold Removal NY\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hhenvironmental.com\/nj-mold-removal.html\">New York<\/a>, <a title=\"NJ Mold Removal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hhenvironmental.com\/nj-mold-removal.html\">New Jersey<\/a>, <a title=\"CT Mold Removal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hhenvironmental.com\/ct-mold-removal.html\">Connecticut<\/a>, <a title=\"MA  Mold Removal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hhenvironmental.com\/ma-mold-removal.html\">Massachusetts<\/a> and <a title=\"PA Mold Removal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hhenvironmental.com\/pa-mold-removal.html\">Pennsylvania. <\/a>We also cover <a title=\"Mold testing NYC\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hhenvironmental.com\/new-york-city-mold-testing.html\">New York City mold testing<\/a> and <a title=\"Mold Removal NYC\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hhenvironmental.com\/new-york-city-mold-removal.html\">remediation<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n  <div class=\"related-post grid\">\r\n      <div class=\"post-list \">\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"item\">\r\n          \r\n  <a class=\"title post_title\"  title=\"Mold Remediation &#8211; What is it?\" href=\"https:\/\/hhenvironmental.com\/articles\/mold-remediation-what-is-it\">\r\n        Mold Remediation &#8211; What is it?  <\/a>\r\n\r\n  <p class=\"excerpt post_excerpt\">\r\n    Mold remediation (or mold removal) involves an expert assessment of a mold problem and its severity, removal of the mold, <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/hhenvironmental.com\/articles\/mold-remediation-what-is-it\"> Read more<\/a>  <\/p>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n              <div class=\"item\">\r\n          \r\n  <a class=\"title post_title\"  title=\"Discovered: Fungus Spews Spores at 55 Mph\" href=\"https:\/\/hhenvironmental.com\/articles\/discovered-fungus-spews-spores-at-55-mph\">\r\n        Discovered: Fungus Spews Spores at 55 Mph  <\/a>\r\n\r\n  <p class=\"excerpt post_excerpt\">\r\n    Scientists report in the journal PLoS ONE that fungi may be one of the fastest land species, clocking speeds of <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/hhenvironmental.com\/articles\/discovered-fungus-spews-spores-at-55-mph\"> Read more<\/a>  <\/p>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n              <div class=\"item\">\r\n          \r\n  <a class=\"title post_title\"  title=\"Mold Inspections for Real Estate Closings\" href=\"https:\/\/hhenvironmental.com\/articles\/mold-inspections-for-real-estate-closings\">\r\n        Mold Inspections for Real Estate Closings  <\/a>\r\n\r\n  <p class=\"excerpt post_excerpt\">\r\n    No one wants to buy a house with a mold problem.
