Have I discovered a new contam! Many Pics

One of my casings has this brown powder looking contam forming all over the top of the casing. Its very loose substance, if I spray it with any water the breeze will make the powder poof up like dust. Couldnt find anything of the sort in the contam FAQ. Any thoughts what this might be? Havent seen this before! Have I come across a new contaminant? Do I get to name it?

I really really really doubt youre the first person to come across this mold, I don't know the name but that looks nasty.

hey man,
I had some jars get a contamination like that and they stank so bad that even after a hot soap bath, a dishwasher cycle and some serious scrubbing I had to toss them cause they were still so rank! If I see it again I will just toss the jars right away!

I'm sure you're not doing it anymore, but I'd avoid spraying them anymore. Be careful removing them, maybe cover with saran wrap first.
I don't know the brown molds, and when I googled 'brown mold' I got this hit:

This brown mold sounds like a bad ass! It resists cold and poison. Be careful!

Well, it doesn't smell any, and I stopped spraying since it makes it poof and i dont want to contam other casings. I think I will wrap the casing with syran wrap and see what happens with it, for the benefit of the mushroom community.
cool stuff

It won't recover. Toss it out. Be careful and don't breathe in the spores(dust). Unlike green molds, the browns are toxic to humans. RR

Looks similiar, however mine was a finer particle size than what is in your picture. I tossed the casing to remove the risk of spreading to the other casings.
