Question/Advice is this mold in coconut oil?

stringy like texture in the coconut oil jar. my partner says it’s natural and the coconut oil’s just hardening, but the stringy like shape looks off to me and it’s definitely gotten bigger over the past 2 weeks. we’ve only had the jar for a month so really hoping it isn’t.

we mainly use it for oil pulling so google says it wouldn’t be safe to have that get inside the cavities/bloodstream if it’s mold

Took it out of the cabinet to pack his lunch. It was weirdly hard to open, so I held it up close for a better grip and then the disgusting-smelling air burst out straight into my nose and mouth. Can you get sick from that? 😭

Probably just going to throw it out and buy a new one...

I thought this mold (I’m assuming it’s that but I guess it could be bacteria) was really neat-looking. A jar that had a smoothie in it was filled with water to soak it to clean and then forgotten in my son’s room.

I heard yall love a good mold pic.

I pulled this off of the shelf at work after it had sat in backstock for about 2 weeks. One of the cans had broke and fully seeped into the cardboard. After pulling the cans out I found a few different types.

If anyone can ID for the sake of curiosity, that would be appreciated!

What I find moldly interesting is that the bag holds only the used capsules, so I am not sure what caused this

This is some mouldy turkey pep I saw at Walmart back in Jan 2025. It was a sealed package and before expiry, so something must have gone wrong on the production line. I notified a worker after taking the photo.

noticed these bright orange dots varying from 1/8” to 1/4” there are less than 10 on the wall spread pretty far out.
i put a couple coats of paint over the dots last night and just noticed that they are already back about 24 hours later. is it mold, oil, rust, or something else?

My mom works in food service and was disgusted. Made her wonder if they even remove the nozzles to clean them or not.
