I got some mold on the walls of my basement after a flood. Now, there are these somewhat red spots in the carpet, and there’s little pieces of [of what look like pasta] growing out of it. They are in shades of cream to brown. How do i get rid of that [pasta thing] and some mold on the walls without my parents finding out?
If my parents find out, I’m in a lot of trouble.

You have to get rid of the moisture. You will need to run a dehumidifier for a while to get the moisture out of the concrete. Once the dehumidifier goes from running most of the time to about 2 hours in a day, you can clean everything with a strong bleach solution to get rid of the leftover mold.
The carpet will most likely have to go. If nothing else, you will be left with stains.
Whether you get in trouble or not, you will have to get rid of the mold ASAP. Some (certainly not all) kinds of mold are very toxic and can make you very ill.
