This is a mold expert?

Fulton Homes mold expert was some guy who came out and looked at it and said, "Yup, it's mold; but it will be fine since it is all in the glue." Then two guys who didn't speak english tore out the floor (and then left without speaking to us or telling us they were done, leaving us to wonder if they were coming back or were done or what).

(I used to work in a fungus lab. I know that mold can spit out spores whether it is sitting on glue or not! I used to watch them do it under a microscope. Sure it's better than if it is a dry environment and they are floating around the room; but glue is not a magic mold catching salve.)

Tom (who is the only guy at Fulton who seems to care), had said that a mold specialist would be out to take a look at it and cover everyone's liability. I swear it never even occurred to me that this guy they sent out could have been the mold specialist. So when I asked Tom today when the mold guy was coming and found out he already had, I asked for a better analysis. I got the impression that Tom thought I was asking for too much, but to his credit he did set up an appointment for us with someone. I just want to make sure there is no mold in my bathroom (because it is a humid enviroment where it will definitely grow if it is there), my bathroom that is right next to my bedroom, where I sleep. And if I sell my house in the future, I want to be able to assure any buyer that this mold thing (which I'm sure I would have to disclose) was fixed right the first time.
