My bath tub side panel was not sealed and it seems water has been splashing in causing some damage.
I always thought mold would have to smell musky however the damage doesnt smell musky. I previously had a can of drink turn into an algae like substance(see can drink in pic). The damage smells more like that. Incidentally could it be that it was spores from the bathroom panel that went into the drink can and rapidly turned it into the subtance.
Anyways its the substance is different colours and look like the result of water damage. Is this mold or is it something else? What are the black, green and other bits?

The damage to the panel does indeed look like mold and mildew damage. It may not always smell musty, especially if it is thoroughly dry right now, so you can't always go by that.
The mold in your drink can is most likely not related. Mold spores are around us all the time, looking for food. Sugary drinks are good food for them...
