Maybe you mean black mold or toxic mold? Can you tell me what the mold looks like?

Black spots all over the wall starting at the floor and getting bigger towards the ceiling.

I’m not 100% sure what this is, but it’s probably black mold or a form of mold called Aspergillus niger.  I’m not sure what’s causing the mold, so it would be important to determine whether or not there is a ventilation issue, or water that’s pooling in the space.  In the meantime, you should try to dry out the mold with a dehumidifier, since the air in your garage is wet, and also call an expert to identify the problem and fix it.  I can recommend the contractor I use, if you’d like.

If you know it is black mold how do I get rid of it before it starts affecting my family?
