      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.

      Mushroom circles grow in circles because they drain the nutrients from the ground, and eventually you have a nutrient barren center that grows with the ring of mushrooms around it.

      I wonder if this is something similar, although I’ve not heard of mold using up a resource before.

    It’s not perfectly symmetrical around the socket, kinda makes me think of someone spreading wall patching/repair material and/or paint, so maybe the mold didn’t like a different material that was made to look the same around the socket?

    Maybe hands plugging in and unplugging stuff touches the wall and erases the mold.
