Possible white mold problem
One of the rooms in my house has had a musty smell in it as well as a white dusty/mold looking substance on random objects. We had a mold inspector come by for free and they measured the walls for moisture, which there was none. They didn’t seem too concerned and just told us to keep an air purifier going. But now I’m seeing this substance on random objects in most rooms downstairs. So my question is does this actually look like mold and if t does, any advice on how to deal with it? We don’t have the money to hire specialists for removal but I’m honestly pretty nervous and so exhausted with worrying about it and finding more of it. Some pictures:
Edit: Especially curious about the stuff on the game console cords. Does it look like mold or am I just being paranoid? :\

A few months ago, as far as I know we don’t have to change it for a little while. We do have drywall that we’ve drilled into but this stuff shows up on objects that aren’t near walls as well.

Plastics have a static charge that really attracts it. So possibly there is dust under the carpet that is getting airborne. Shampooing carpets might help. Only idea I have.
