Mold in Waterbottle?

I recently found mold growing in my water bottle I use at work.
I use the crystal lite packets in it with the water.

What type of mold could it be?
It appeared black, but when wiping off it was black and brown.

I usually rinse it out after each use as well as soapy water a few times a week.

I am just curious if I should pitch it as the bottle can not withstand boiling water (which I think would help kill something?)

Rinse it thoroughly with a mixture of bleach and hot water. That's how the military sanitizes plastic canteens.

Either pitch it or Bleach it.

Throw the bottle and get a new one.
Try to allow the bottle to completely [100%] dry out after rinsing it in future. Stay safe.
