  2. Hi, that’s my first time making venison salami and landjager, hanged in 9-10ºC / 65-70% humidity garage (used only as a pantry storage) for almost a week now. Weight loss of 12-15% so far, pH at 5.1.

    Over the last few very rainy days the humidity shoot to 80-82% and I spotted this mold today – cleaned with 50/50 water-vinegar straightaway, but it looks very similar to zygomycetes.

    Should I bin them all or just wait? If the latter, what am I looking for and what to do if this mold comes back?

    I’ve added a fan to the room to at least improve the air flow, probably will try to get a dehumidifier as well.
