It is plume, typically it manifests at the ends and slowly blooms further up the stick in small white blotches. Mold grows in large colonies and would consume a stick in its entirety as well as spread to other sticks, bloom does not. I have a 150 count humi that is packed, humidity is between 65 and 70 percent with a constant 68 degrees. They are in my office, I happen to be the IT manager so my office is part of the computer room, constant temperature and humidity, life is good. I have a new 400 count humi scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. A week of seasoning and I can pack it up. I have a good 300 sticks in a couple of storage containers, it will be nice to get one home for them all. It gets opened once or twice a day to pull a stick for sacrifice to the fire gods, or to refill and rotate stock.
