The nearly perfectly symmetrical shape makes me think its due to the electromagnetic fields when current is passing through the socket to whatever is plugged in, but I have no idea why such a small amount would have such a dramatic effect on the mold.

Or the socket faulty wirings heat the wall and make it less mold friendly.

I was thinking it might just be heat from the wiring or plugged in devices keeping it too dry for the mold.

It could also be that they needed to mud/tape around the opening for the plug in the drywall/plaster and it changed the consistency/chemical makeup just enough to not be as friendly to the growth of mold (less moisture/denser etc)

Heat spread is symmetric if the material is lol

Which it is…? It’s symmetric to two outlets next to each other giving heat, which is the case. And reality is never perfect, it wouldn’t be an absolutely perfect pill shape for so many reasons.

Yep. Everyone knows that the UK is a fake country that only exists in Doctor Who.
(… It’s a 3 wire type g outlet. I think you maybe mistook the mounting hardware for ports)

Or a loose connection is arcing slightly and producing ozone gas

“Got a runny nose or fever? Just lick this electrical socket!”

I mean, very few people would report symptoms of a runny nose or a fever after licking the socket…

You should start licking batteries, to build resistence.
