Nothing to report as far as I am concerned.

Go to Lowes or Home Depot one day and pick through their piles of dimensional lumber. I would guess that 20 to 30% of the lumber will have the same "discoloration." After all, this stuff is "manufactured" (grown) in climates ripe with "fungal" growth - FORESTS.

Non issue.

Suspected mold is suspected mold, no matter if it developed before or after the house was built, and in my opinion should be mentioned in the report and recommended for further evaluation. IMHO.
