    I just pulled carpet in a cottage bathroom over this past summer so we could replace it with vinyl.

    It is exactly as gross as you think it is under there.

        Yes. There was mold and a lot of the carpet pad was disintegrated.

        Thankfully there was only about a 12x12" section of subfloor that was rotted, so that was easy enough to replace.

        The smell of the entire cottage has improved, though. Pretty nasty.

          I had a carpeted kitchen as a kid. It was also pretty nasty when it came up, this horrible burnt orange looped shag rug. Lots of spills under there.
