First, let's go over a quick primer on what mold is. Every kind of mold is a fungus, and share biology with mushrooms and athlete's foot, for example. The mold that is dangerous to people is rare in the fungi kingdom, meaning most kinds aren't dangerous. However, some toxic molds are dangerous, so any mold you find indoors must be cleaned up and completely removed.

That means reaching out to a a mold damage repair company is best. If you see mold, there is probably hidden mold trapped in drywall and crevices and elsewhere.

Check credentials before you hire a mold damage cleanup service. You can also make sure the company knows and follows federal mold cleanup recommendations whether your mold is in a business or a residence.

You need to mitigate any mold you find to prevent further harm, and do it now. If you don't, parasitic fungi will continue to feast on your structure and will destroy your possessions.
