Does fungi effect prints or canvases?, by sake on Aug 25, 2015 7:01:40 GMT 1, So my apartment had this funny smell since I moved in last year. Summer came, that being last week here in Bergen, and a horried smell came into the apartment.
Had a look into the outer wall and found it was overgrown with fungi. Now the entire aparment smells like crap and I've moved all textiles out.
But what about prints and canvases? Would mold/fungi effect them in any way?
Would prefer not to move them, mostly because I dont trust not to ruin them if I leave it at their house, but also because you allways dent stuff when moving. Especially when you live in a fourth story flat without an elevator and narrow staircase...
Anyone have any experience with this kinda problem?

If you have a place that it is infected with mould, you need to give them a good clean and brush as soon as you are out of the environment. catch the spores when they are dustlike and you have a chance. You may want to check the interior of the frame job at the same time

Its not your typical fungi, its the one that eats up the framework in the house.
After opening the wall I cant be in the apartment for more than 10 minutes without my eyes burning and swelling  so I had to move out straight away.
The artwork have been left behind, but I guess I should move that out as well.
I'm having someone over to give me a quote, surveyor estimated 2-6 months of work, so what I was wondering was if I should leave the artwork in another part of the apartment.
After reading the comments I guess I'll have them moved and cleaned :-)

It looked like a wicked Sweet Toof og! [see spiders web for skull eyes....anyone???] |
