Mold or ploom?
Just got a box of 20 of these and some have this stuff in them...a few look like they have minor white/gray fuzz in the foot too.

Shine a light on it. If it looks sparkly (kind of like fine sugar), it's plume. If it looks fuzzy, it's mold.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
If you see tiny crystals, it's plume.
I still do not understand how they can be mistaken for each other.
Imagine a cigar sprinkled with a very fine powder of salt, evenly coated coarsely across the wrapper.
That is plume/bloom.
Now, imagine blothy patches of veey fine hairs, usually in patches of small circles or uneven powdery texture, such as shown by the image. That is mold.
And plume does not occur on the foot, while mold loves the foot.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
