Opened up a jar of washed WLP001 to make a starter for a weekend brew and noticed a few black moldy looking spots floating around. It was in 3 jars I had left. The yeast bed in the bottom looked clean and fine, the gunk was only in the liquid that would have been decanted. I took no pics.
I threw out the contents of all jars to start with a new vial. I am curious if anyone would or has used the yeast where only the decant liquid looked suspect but the cake looked fine, so I will get a feel if I was being overly cautious. I want believe it was wise to dump these.
