White fuzzy substance on rhizome

[oster99]

I just received four rhizomes from Freshops today and both of my Cascades have this white fuzzy stuff on them. Is this some type of mold or disease? The willamette and centennial smell fresh but the cascade smells different...not bad but different. Any thoughts?

Call fresh hops and let them know. They might just send you some MORE rhizomes

I'll bet this thread will answer your question.

I wish that it did. This stuff looks like cobwebs except white. I just gave them a good cleaning and planted them anyway. We'll see what happens.

if you washed the mold off and planted them right away its nothing to worry about.... or at least thats what Dave from freshops assured me of.
