Mold on kombu?

[Dr. Teeth]

I situations like this my mother (who was an MD) would usually say something along the lines of “If it grows on x, it won’t grow in you,” and instruct me to cut the moldy part off.

 

Despite fine parenting I grew into an anxious, slightly lazy and wasteful adult and would probably just throw it out.

@Shel_B Did you get it at Tokyo Market? I'm sure they won't have a problem with the return. And someone there might know what kind of mold it is.

That package was puchased at Yaoya-San, a Japanese market in El Cerrito. I purchased the replacement kombu at Tokyo. Didn't think to save the kombu and have the folks at Tokyo look at it. The folks at Yaoya-San cheerfully refunded my $$$, though.
