I have seen mushrooms growing outside of a house as well as under a house. But, this is the first time that I've ever seen mushrooms growing inside a house! Obviously, the builders of this house from hell -- excuse me, I mean new construction property -- has a minor problem. As far as new construction goes, this was one of the worst houses that I've ever seen. Overall, the summary report that went to the builder and the real estate agent was 14 pages of items that needed to be addressed by the builder. To give a bench mark, most houses in this area are from 5 - 6 pages. Just goes to show youthe quality of craftsmanship and the attention to detail that goes into some new construction properties out there.
My clients were VERY glad that they decided to go with the home inspection. They told me later that they almost did not go with the home inspection.

Boy oh boy, was the builder a farmer and just got confused on where to grow the crops?
Mushrooms? I never knew to even look for them in an inspection of a house! You give me good ammunition for those who think an inspection isn't needed for a new home. Thank you.
Were they the eating kind?
Michael I have to think if that is new construction----it may be the metaphorical "tip of the iceberg"
hhhmmmm, They could have their own mushroom cultivation in the home. How convienent.

Good point Sean Allen - have those mushrooms on hand for that homemade pizza. Or perhaps for a stir fry for tomorrows dinner... could be a new trend!
I loved this article. Why? Because it points out the importance of having a home inspection even with new construction.
Great job Michael.
Wow , Thats incredible. Thanks for sharing, I don't recall seeing shrooms inside before...
Thanks for the pic.
