Blue mould on ginger and tumeric while making OHN

Hi, my ginger fpj and tumeric fpj grew Blue mould on the top. I’m not gonna consume it but would it still be safe for using in the garden? It looks like it could be Penicillium expansum which can be pathogenic for some plants.

I did 1:1 rhizome:sugar, should I use more sugar next time? The garlic is thicker syrup and didn’t mould.

In making OHN molds will be killed off with the alcohol …i would think its ok to scrape off the mold and continue the OHN process as the amount of alcohol that will go into it should kill off any spores that are present …if we where just making a FPJ then i would not use it and just discard it into the compost pile

as for adding more sugar next time it might work out better to add a sugar cap to ensure that all plant materiel is under the sugar and not exposed …iv found in my area that the sugar cap helps to get a better extraction and prevent bad juju from moving into my ferments
