Re: How would you write this up
Firstly;
You dis-assembled a component, which I doubt many Home Inspectors would even think about doing.
However, You were following up on something you suspected.
You found it and now you must comment on it.
You found mold growing on the inside of a duct.
Tell them what you found.
"Mold was found in the HVAC duct in "X" room.

Now.... do you want to stick your neck out there a little and tell them what to do next?

If so.... what would you do if you were in their shoes?

"I suggest contacting a licensed and qualified HVAC contractor to determine the extent of the contamination and to provide you with a cost analysis of correcting the problem"

There... you're done.

However, they will probably come back with ....
"are you sure it's mold"?

To which you answer.....

"no I'm not positive.... However, I'm not positive that the air we breathe is composed of Oxygen molecules, but, I've breathed in enough of it to be quite certain that it is."

"In other words... if it looks like a duck, and, quacks like a duck...."
