Orange, spongy, massive mold body growing inside walls and floors. and out of carpet. Mushrooms with caps have been visible too. I also believe that I am starting to have health issues related.

We tested a room in our house for mold with a kit from Home Depot (sent to lab for results). The results indicated that we have mold. Even though it appears we don't have the toxic kind we'd like to get an estimate on remediation/moisture control suggestions.

Basement Mold Removal
Because of its lack of adequate natural ventilation systems, the basement provides fertile grounds for the growth off mold spores. There is very little heat in the basement, and conditions are usually dark and moist. Water from leaky pipes or inadequately waterproofed walls can cause mold spores to be attracted and to begin their breeding and infestation process. Mold in a basement can cover all surfaces of the basement like the walls, floors, ceilings etc.
Mold removal in your basement is very important because the spores in the basement can easily spread to other parts of your home. The vents and ducts of your HVAC system are able to draw in these spores, and release them into the upstairs environment. These spores freely disperse into the air, and over a period off time, you will find that you suffer from asthma and other allergic reactions and respiratory disorders more frequently than before. Make sure that you have adequate artificial ventilation in your basement like air conditioners and ceiling fans. Don't let water accumulate anywhere in the basement -- if there are wet patches on carpets or furniture, get rid off these. If there are leaky pipes in the basement, get these fixed immediately.
If you notice mold in the basement, don't try to scrub off the spores or wash them with detergent. Scrubbing only shakes the spores free, and detergents are completely useless on mold and mildew.
