3.6% salt. 1qt jar was 2/3 full, never opened. Lid was loose. I'm not looking for diagnoses, really. I just thought the photo was cool.

Or something contaminated it. Looks like a pretty aggresive form of mold.

On the plus side, if you were trying to make blue cheese that wouldn't be a bad attempt.
