I have a stlton which is  2 1/2 weeks old ripening at 56f 87rh it has the mold growth all over the outside, green from when I pierced it can I scrape the outside or wipe it with salt solution?

I wouldn't, they do get scary, I never have scraped, and I have had some very rustic looking blue's  :o

Thank you, I have eaten a lot of bleu style cheeses and none have the mold on the rind like mine currently does. Your cheese interior looked fabulous, you just used a simple Tupperware container as your ripening box? I have mine in one with a sushi matt on the bottom.

Just let it do its thing, your rind looks excellent at this stage
Smell will tell you if it is going wrong, keep an eye on the humidity and temps.
