What is the best mold testing product?
Mold testing products such as home mold testing kits consisting of petri dishes, swabs, and even kits that look like home pregnancy tests. Such kits are readably available online and at hardware stores. Unfortunately the test results are not very revealing.
Most such kits are fine at telling you if you have spores in the area being sampled, however almost anyplace you sample will come up positive because mold spores are everywhere thus the tests tell you what you already knew, and that is that you have mold spores in your home.
Such mold testing products do not allow for a true understanding of the number of spores in the area being sampled thus you cannot know from home mold testing kits if the levels of spores in your home represent a mold problem.
One benefit of such kits is they can tell you what types of spores you have. If the test reveals spores like Chaetomium spores then you know they are from water damage and further investigation by a mold inspector is warranted.
Home allergen test kits are a little better because the lab can weigh the amount of dust you sampled and sent to them. These allergen kits allow the lab to calculate the true levels of allergens per gram of dust being sampled. Allergen levels can then be compared to what are considered elevated levels and this information can be helpful.
In conclusion home allergen testing kits are typically more informative than most mold testing kits on the market today.
If you can find a mold testing kit that comes with a pump that allows you to measure the amount of air you sample then the lab can calculate how many spores you have per cubic meter of air and this would be the best mold testing kit. A few years ago someone was selling such kits but I have not seen them offered recently.
By far your best bet is to simply hire a professional mold testing consultant to take samples and do an inspection, if you hire the right consultant you will get much more definitive and detailed information on mold conditions in your home than a test kit can provide.

Adding more brown, carbon-rich materials and monitoring watering schedules are ways to fix moldy compost. Moldy compost may not necessarily be bad since beneficial bacteria and fungi help account for its presence while they break down compostables and recyclables. But at the same time, it may reveal overwatering since compostables should not be waterlogged and should showcase moisture levels consistent to that of a wrung-out sponge.
