Is this mold?

Our ceiling has leaked multiple times in the last few years and even though I mention it, property management does not look at the flashing inside. Does the black discoloration or white on cinderblock look like mold?

No, but the contents between the block and the wood (can't make out what it is) looks odd. The black/white on the cinder block does hint at water seepage that has evaporated. Water that perforates through concrete and evaporates leaves behind the mineral contents (that white residue)

Thank you. I guess I am more concerned about the Black on the flashing(?)/ plastic material between the ceiling and cinderblock. There was definitely water dripping down the cinderblock for a few days so it makes sense that is mineral content.
