A number of molds, possibly all, will fluoresce when under UV from a blacklight, even if the colony isn't visible under normal light.

Learned this the "OMG! I've been breathing THAT? I am so out of here." way due to a former landlord that wouldn't properly maintain his properties.

I have no idea though if plume, certain capas or even the pectin will or won't fluoresce also.

These didn't. I did speak with the same guy who sent me the e-mail. After a short conversation I have a replacement en route via his desk for a mold check before it hits my doorstep.

That looks disgusting. Maybe I'm just a pansy, but no way I would smoke those, especially considering even the slight possibility of negative effect on health.

I've placed 2-3 orders from FSS and haven't had any problems but I will definitely keep this in mind.

Saw these guys at Spec's Liquor :-/

Glad to hear they worked it out for you!

Excellent that you got it worked out and are getting replacements.

Regarding the fluoresce, or lack thereof, from what I remember of what the inspector said at the time he did a walk though, was that dead mold doesn't fluoresce and that he thought most all mold did, certainly everything that he was interested in did, but wasn't 100% sure about stuff you might find growing on food. Also, he was using a rather high-powered UV light, it wasn't the run of the mill thing you would find at a hardware or electronics store, it might have had a wider or deeper spectrum than some of the other stuff.

In this case, you don't need to go that far. Round patchy clumps with tentacles = mold.
