Most likely, you have blocked drain: remove P-Trap, insert small hand snake and clean the pipe as it enters the wall.

Also, the blockage may be in the sink drain itself. Here, remove P-Trap and pop up piece. Look down into the drain. If you cannot see through than it needs to be cleaned, too.

That much I know. I can clear it. What I need to know is, "What is it?" Can it be that "black mold" that everyone is afraid of?
