I have seen plenty of walls look like this after pulling true wood baseboard off also. The problem isn’t the type of trim or “wood” that is put down, the problem is the water source and removing the water correctly to insure this doesn’t happen.

That’s mildew, not mold as mold requires a constant water source. A flood or heavy mopping is not a constant water source.

Agree! And then flooring vendors get blamed for destroying baseboards that were already destroyed!

This stuff is crap..it is basically partical board, but not as good. There is no proper use for this stuff. It is cheap, ineffective, will inevitably have to be replaced and is a lowest bidder product. It is pretty much a polished turd. Looks pretty at first, but eventually it stinks!
