disease Black "mold" on the seeds

Some of the chillies that i process to make a mash come with some black "mold" inside. i think is less than 1% have this condition. The chilli looks fine outside, and i'm pretty sure that at least in small quantities doesn't affect the fermentation quality. But i really want know what i'm dealing about.
Anyone can help?

I agree with Marturo. We all have some pods like this every season. That's why I cut every pod open before processing. These pods need to get thrown out, NOT put in your ferment.
Right, but when you processing like 30 Kg of chillies, it's almoast impossible to let one or another pass. But i'm also cutting every pod to check ;)
