Some of the stains look like it on the insulation facing. If that is paper facing... Or is that just a sheet of bio-growth?

Was it wet/humid that day in the crawl?

The home had multiple problems.

Gotcha. It looked like the photo was taken from entrance. When I see them like that, water/moisture, there's usually sloppy everything including live wires dangling, laying on the ground.
