    Looks like mould/fungus to me. What are we looking at - wall? floor? roof?

    My guess would be that it's appeared because the wood is damp or getting damp. If it were mine, I'd be seeing if I could ensure it wasn't getting damp or at least ensure it had good air-flow to dry off, then I'd clean it with some detergent and treat it with a wood preservative.

    do you think it's bad to sit around it ? i've heard mould is bad for you, but it doesn't feel so bad

    it's the wall of a 3 wall shed
