Do you really have to ask? That's mold big time! Is that in your house living space? Move! Or get ready for a lot of repairs.

C'mon Vic... maybe a chimney sweep emptied his bag in there, or perhaps there is a coal chute nearby. LOL!
Unless I'm mistaken, I think I see ice on the glass. Cold walls, cold room, no heat or air circulation and high humidity = condensation = conditions are ripe for mold growth.

Thanks guys for the quick reply. I will move out only next summer and i didnt know this was dangerous. Is this really panicking like right away or could this wait like 6 months. I know you will be surprised, i sleep in that room for the last couple of years. The landlord fixed it already but it came back. I think you are right about the air circulation and heating. Waiting for your reply. Thanks again.

I would use TSP along with some bleach, provided your TSP does not contain a bleach warning label. The TSP is a detergent which is needed to help clean the surfaces.
