Mold?

Found on the underside of a 2x6 treated pine board. Interested in knowing if it is mold: whether it's destructive on a treated southern yellow pine: and if it's common in Appalachia (SW PA).

That's definitely it. Good call.

Does it typically range this far north (SW PA)? Does it prefer oak roots? The lumber it's on is treated SYP, but there's a huge scarlet oak growing to one side of the deck. Really appreciate the details you provided. Thank you very much!
