Hi all
We have a small store/pantry situated under the stairs. As you can see from picture 1 inside the pantry the plaster has crumbled off and has a quite gross looking white powdery mould

On the living room side it seems to have bulged outwards (or its crumbled and the wallpaper is holding)

Im actually getting worried that the white growth is actually quite dangerous in terms of mould :/ and that i should have resolved this sooner!! There could also be a smell coming from it too.
To be honest the main reason i looked at it is because i need to decorate the living room and pantry and obviously i need this resolved before i paint/re-wallpaper
So what should I do about the initial mould and then what do i need to to enable me to re-decoreate the pantry and the living room? Is it simply a case of re-plastering?
Is it damp?
