What type of mold/fungus is this?

Can anyone let me know what type of mold this is? ( I think there are two, maybe different, I don't know).

http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/ValiantRift/library/

I have an area in my furnished basement that is below a window. Admittedly, this isn't a very good window and (I know now) that it likely leaks. Also below this window is a piece of furniture with that has a lip in the back which means that it isn't pressed against the wall completely.

I was poking around in the area today and decided to check behind this furniture and I'm glad I did. I found the mold/fungus in the above pictures. I've cleaned it up with bleach but I'm concerned if I need to a more extensive repair job. I'm also concerned that I know nothing about what it was.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

There's lots of info about brown mold on the net. Just google it.

More than bleach is needed. That wall and rug need an intense scrubbing by a professional. Tell your landlord to get it done.

Most importantly the source of the mold needs to be found out.
