So these dark spots are in my new batch. They seem to be brown. Can't be sure if they are fuzzy or not. Looks like they could be at a microscopic level. Definitely to the unaided eye they are not shiny, but more dull & dry.
I'd let it go and see what happens. I had what I thought was a bad batch when I first started getting my mother going. It turned into a normal looking scoby.
