It was a long weekend to remember for Stephanie Smith — but for all the wrong reasons.
Smith returned home after a weekend trip in August to discover mushrooms sprouting from a crevice between her carpet and walls, dusted with what appeared to be black mould.
“Seeing them was one thing, but the smell when we walked in was so bad that I was immediately vomiting,” said Smith, who lives in Quarry Co-operative Housing in south Ottawa.
“It just grew so rapidly. It was terrifying.”
