What is it? Seems to grow out of some wooden areas in the room. I've tried peroxide and bleach. Would a steamer help? Sorry in advance for the bad picture quality.

@JeeBaiChow that's white mold. Steamer will make it worse. It likes moisture and its spores are in the wood.
Ideally a professional mould killer would be best. Otherwise:
Put water and baking soda on it, leave for a while, then wash off
Scrub with vinegar
If possible, lightly sandpaper the wood and then re-varnish
Thanks. This also sounds like a doable thing. It's annoying cuz it's a living space, so it's likely the spores are getting everywhere. Don't know where it came from either.
@JeeBaiChow it probably came in on someone's clothing.
