Molds are different across the US. Mold in Florida is very weak mold. We have high humidity and heat which makes it easy for it to grow. Places in the west and mid west where it is dry, mold has to be strong to grow. Strong mold is dangerous. Most time mold in walls or behind cabinets here is from a leak. I would call my inspector Eagle Comprehensive and he has an infrared camera that can detect leaks. Find the source first. I would check government mold website to see if your levels are “bad” before tearing out anything. You maybe be able to use heat dryers to kill dampness and install a dehumidifier. Does your home have a lot of trees hanging over it? I would skeptical too, I have sold real estate across the country and that is how I got my exposure to mold info. Good luck!
