Taking a shot here to see if there are any experts (self proclaimed or otherwise!) are on the Yard about household mold

Been in a home two years, finished basement (sump pump, French drain, no water issues), the other day though I saw some of the trim was pulled off the sheet rock and in between was mold. Kept looking and lo and behold it's behind almost all of the trim.

Had an air and specimen test done and it's unfortunately returned chaetomium, which is a type of toxic mold. Likely there as a result of a flooded basement at some point.

Remediation is going to be expensive, which I can live with, my concern is I have a 2.5 year old and 6 month old, and in my googling of this mold it is very difficult to gather the severity of exposure and then of any lingering mycotoxins associated with it. Some readings suggest to essentially throw out your entire home, to basically remove it and move on.

Any thoughts on shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Freaking out a bit thinking about the kids.
