Humidor Discoloration

Ok so here is an odd thing. I opened up my humidor (That I'm in the process of bringing up to the right RH so its without cigars) and I am faced with a blueish splotch of something on the wood above where I have my beads. I don't think it was there before today, I've never noticed it before though.

My first thought was, "aww crap it's moldy" but after careful examination I found it wont scrape off or anything. Can mold grow in a humidor like that? So as not to smell or scrape off?

I took some pics but I don't think they came out too well. I'll try to get some better ones in the morning.

Let me know what you think alright?

Thanks

Chris

It could just be a water stain. Some woods turn black/blue/grey like that whae they gey wet. I really hope it's not mold.

I was thinking that was a possiblity but I've never heard of a humidor doing it.

Thanks Mike.

Does kinda look like a weird water stain. I have one that did that several years ago and still looks the same.

Try sanding it off if it bothers you. Use 220 grit or finer.

Kind of looks like mildew, but that would scrape off.

I can't tell by the picture, does it continue into the piece that it butts into or is it just in the one piece?

It looks like a water stain. It may have been lighter before the moisture hit it so it may not have been as noticeable.

I'm thinking it's probably a water stain. I'll pick up some sand paper today and go at it.

Thanks for the input everyone

Chris
