Moved halfway during cure. New basement cellar has higher humidity than last house. Humidity in the low 80s and temp around 50-55F. Last house had similar temp but humidity rarely went past 65.
Gonna eat it anyway but have others seen this kind? I wiped off with white vinegar and will give cold smoke for 15 hours or so before hanging again. Figure that’ll clean it. I typically smoke before hanging but didn’t this time around. I never get mold growth of any kind. Assuming cos of the smoke. I also don’t use starter cultures or any of that white mold people spray on.
What does “bad mold” do to you assuming you don’t go to a hospital once you feel sick? Just a lot of shitting?

Edit: after actually reading the comment, I get spots like that I just vinegar wipe and carry on, in my experience I usually get white/green spots when drying not sure what type of mold it is I’m not a mycologist but there can be a number of factors.
My rule: white: not bad
Green: could be iffy better wipe
Black: it’s bad
Red: it’s really bad
Cold smoking after a period of drying isnt going to penetrate that much,
As for the mold its a humidity issue, you need to find a way to reduce it in a cellar.
