Moldy (white) in fresh bag of FFOF soil

So, I've been using ffof for 10yrs or so. I've been through hundreds of bags, and never experienced this in a bag.

White mold. Safe to use or back to the grow store to replace?

My guess is it's fine. That mycelium is probably just breaking down the organic matter, and not a plant pathogen, cause there's no live plants in there to feed on.

Yeah, it has (microhazea (sp)), thought it was that, but never seen to this extreme.

IME, those bags that had the biology kick off hard in the bag are GREAT for seedlings. When it kicks off in the pot, the oxygen demand is high, and they'll struggle just like overwatering.

Nice score!
