Thanks. It was dirty so I changed it. Also, I thought I should eliminate everything before I take it back in to the other mechanic.
Plus, I read this: "Not correct, if marketing information is to be believed, anyway. I don't think I'm disagreeing with Mikey, per se. IF the fumes are originating in the engine bay, say exhaust leak, or oil dripping on the hot bits or what have you, and IF you have a properly-installed, quality activated charcoal HVAC filter, and IF your plenum seals aren't knackered, THEN you should not be getting doused with sensible fumes in the cabin on startup."
I thought maybe, just maybe, a dirty filter, a cheap filter, or no filter at all could allow what I'm smelling in. Not the case.
I did start it up and did not smell anything that I am smelling inside the cabin when the hood was up. Just baffling...
Thanks for the continued help.

This points back to contaminated HVAC system. There are sprays available that will kill the mould.
