Hi Mikael, That is not mold. It looks like skiffs of some kind. Nothing to worry about. Good luck with your inventory.

Most of it came away when I brushed at it gently with a cloth- I'm presuming it's dust, but I figured I should double-check if I'm mistaken and it's mold. I've attached a picture for reference- if anyone has any tips for what I should be looking for that can't be conveyed via still image, I'd appreciate that too! Either way, I'm prioritizing the scroll inside for rehousing- the case has got somewhat of a funky smell to it.
