Bathrooms tend to have a higher humidity which is very supportive for mold growth. The mold is eating organic dirt/dust which is landing on the toilet. Some molds can even grow in the water on the inside walls of the toilet water supply tank and the toilet bowl itself. You should wash the toilet frequently with Borax laundry detergent, a natural mold cleaner. Of course, your water might be mold contaminated with mold spores contained in the water from mold growth in water supply pipes, water well, water storage tank, water softener, and other water distribution equipment. You can mold test your water first thing in the morning [prior to other water use] for possible mold contamination by running some water into a cup. Then using a new or sanitized eyedropper, transfer about 10 to 20 drops of water onto the surface of a mold test kit, and then watch for any growth over the next 7 days. You also should investigate this possibility: that your home has elevated levels of airborne mold spores. You can use do it yourself mold test kits available at a large home improvement, hardware, or safety store to mold test the air of each room, basement, crawl space, attic, garage, and the outward air flow from each heating/cooling duct register, to determine the possible presence of elevated levels of airborne mold spores, in comparison to an outdoor mold control test.

I don't think that it is in the water but growing on the bowl. You could clean the toilet with Clorox or put those tablets in the toilet tank that last for like 3000 flushes and clean your toilet bowl and freshen all at the same time.

clean it better, with a cleaner, not like a brush and water. I personally like the ones where you can throw away the cleaning head on the brush. Then you can put those bleach tablets in the toilet to help clean it when you flush.

Clean it with a bleach solution and let it set in the bowl for a couple of hours.

I CLEAN THE POT WITH AMMONIA AND DONT HAVE A PROBLEM. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO MIX BLEACH AND AMMONIA AS SUCH A MIXTURE CAN CAUSE A DEADLY GAS. CALL A PLUMBER OR TWO AND MAYBE THEY CAN RECOMMEND SOMETHING THAT NEITHER OF US KNOW ABOUT.

Flush more often, clean with bleach to kill spores.
