Dangerous strange mold?? Need help...

[Danbo]

After 14 days of ageing this strange looking mold has appeared on my blue cheese...

- Is this mold on any way dangerous?
- Should I just let it be or should I just remove it (and how much should then be removed)?

I hope that one of you experts can tell me what it is before I freak out...

Mold varieties are WAY out of my comfort zone, and I'm only aping what I've read elsewhere. Hopefully someone who actually knows something will come along and correct me.

I think that is a Mucor mold known as poil de chat or cat's fur. I don't think it's dangerous, but it can cause a bitter flavor. I'd probably do local treatments with vinegar saturated with salt. You might want to lower your humidity also. hopefully Google and a search of this site will give you some more information.

It's either mucor or PC.  Either way I would clean it off.  Try setting the blue out at room temperature for an hour a day to keep the outside dry.

[Al Lewis]

Check your local street corner.  They usually have a sign. LOL

Priceless!!!

It looks like a filamentous fungi.

Oops, I mean fungus.

Frodage: Is it dangerous and what can I do about it? :-)

I would go with Larry and Al's suggestions.

Clean it off with a salt saturated vinegar solution and air it daily to dry it out a tad.

Thanks for all the support. I scrabed the ting off and gave the spot a little vinegar and salt...
